noises coming from the rear

[Thefunk]

This particular noise has been bugging me for months. At first I thought it was the struts since the strut thread rings were loose so I tightened them and the sound went away. Now it's back and I think it could be the lower control arm. When I tap the control arm it makes a very similar sound to what I'm hearing. You'll hear the sound in this video. Most prominent when going in reverse especially on uneven terrain.



I'm gonna get under there eventually but maybe someone has some insight.

Can’t watch the video for some reason but have you got a normal link to it?

I get an irritation noise from the rear left, behind the passenger seat, I’m in Australia so I’m RHD like Japan, changing lanes driving over the reflectors or some road bumps, there’s a rattle. Like at the top of the strut or something but under all the interior parts.

There is a thread about something like this.

Strange, it plays for me. It's a webm file. So I don't get knocks/clicks/pops over bumps. What I get is a light click or tack noise when moving very slow like backing into my driveway. I hope it's not a bushing and just needs tightening. I do eventually want to replace those bucket-style lower control arms with regular bar arms and those have bushings already. The rear driver side is where the noise comes from and when I first got the car I did hit a nasty pothole on that side...

It won’t play for me either.
