I am getting really frustrated trying to find the source of the noises I am getting in the rear of my car they are a real shap pop or snap. I have checked and checked and can't find anything loose all the stuff in my sig is new installed only at the end of last april. Also a new wheel bearing on the left side in the rear. I am getting this noise seems like both sides. It wont happen when driving down the highway is more of when I am driving slow and the car has to twist like when I am turning up my driveway its a slight hill or over a curb I hear it. If I go through a ruff section of road very slowly it pop and snaps like crazy. Anyone got an idea, it really getting to me enough to the point of me thinking of selling this thing.
TIA

I would concentrate on the rear sway bar frame mount bushings and clamps and the sway bar end links, bushings and tightness of the 13mm nuts.

They are all new parts Scott and I have tried tighten up the endlinks more, they are squashed pretty good.
This is driving me nuts.

You must find the source of the noise to be able to fix the problem. Try laying under the fuel tank (no jacks) and bench pressing one side of the car in rhythm with the suspension frequency to cause a roll. Alternately, lay under there and have someone else rock the car by pushing up on an open door frame. listne and feel for the loose parts.

I have tired bouncing the car shaking it. It won't make a noise, it also will not make a noise when hitting large or sharp bumps. Just when the car is on uneven ground. Notice it the most when I am going down someones lane way where they have a few *** holes going very slowly.
