Okay, so I have this ka-thunk noise sometimes when I go over bumps.
It's in the back, and sounds like it's coming from the right shock area.
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what the problem is.
Everything is tight back there, the springs are seated properly, I swapped my Monroes for the stocks, so the shocks aren't blown.
It doesn't feel like anything is dangerously wrong, but it's certainly irritating.
Any thoughts?

exhaust piping hitting against your sway bar link? try checking that
you mentioned it happens when you go over a bump right? so the bounce after a bump might make your piping go low enough to tap against it ^^

I'm thinking it has to be exhaust related. The noise started occurring after I changed exhausts.
It just sounds so much deeper than the exhaust knocking. I'll have to check on it.
It finally stopped raining after 3 days, so hopefully I can find time to get under there.

How about the metal cover that goes over the gas tank? Mine is loose and clunks when I hit it, I was going to secure it with my buddy Mr. ZipTy but a spider fell on me so I gave up till next time!
