New noise making me crazy
I have a new noise that is making me crazy 
I did a number of mods over the winter, and took the car out for a short (15 mile) spin on Sunday, and found a new noise. It is more than a rattle, and less than a clunk; coming from the right rear. Only when I hit a bump. I did new exhaust (I am certain that the exhaust is not the problem) and coil-overs, as well as a new clutch and tunnel plate. I have double checked all of the torque specs for the rear cradle, and cant find the source of the noise.
I had a loose lower panel on the passenger door and thought that was it. That's what it sounds like only a bit louder; fixed the door panel but the noise is still there.
Any suggestions???? The car is going back up on jacks later this afternoon for new headers and X pipe so digging around under there won't be a problem.
TIA
Len

Hey Len!
Check the sway-bar links. These can make the type of rattle you are speaking of and they can be hard to find if you are not aware of them. They can make more noise then what one would thing.
Keep us posted on what you find..
