I was checking it out today, and didnt find anything lose in the area.
When i drive on flat road, i can turn, accelerate, brake, and nothing will happen, noise wise. Now if i go 10+ mph and hit a dip or bump in the road, i get what sounds like a loose piece of metal hitting the frame or something to that effect. I inspected the car tonight and nothing seems to be loose. While i had the car up, i manually tried to compress the shock and heard a slight squishing sound. When I inspected the shock, i dont find any fluid leaking from anywhere visible. I check the top of the strut and all the bolts on the assembly and everything seems tight. What do you guys think it might be? The noise is driving my crazy.. feels like my wheels gonna pop off or something. Also, I dont hear it on dips while the cars moving over 60mph. Help

the metal noise u hear is the guide inside the shock pinging the break point or pinging the walls because the nitro has escaped and is not alowing the tube to stay in its place during compression
you wont hear it at high speeds because the rebound time at high speeds = less travel on the shock because the amount of time it hits the bump to the time it rebounds is less then it would be lets say in a slow speed bump (if u notice those hurt more or take longer then your average daily driving bump).
to test the shock 1. push up and down on the trouble side and compare it to the passenger side for rebound... also inspect the tube were it meets the shock..if there is grime or some what black residue then its blown.
the only other thing you might want to check out is if the bolts following the suspension are all tight, all there, and also inspenct the 3 main bolts on the bottom control arm (were we took them out to take out the axle) and inspect the bolt on the upper part of the trailing arm ( were the cotter pin is by the axle meeting the wheel hub) if its there and all intact....
if anything LMK and i dont mind swinging by the crib to inspect it also
