My Intrepid has been making a rattling sound in the rear when going over bumps in the road, especially those bumps where the road has been dug up to repair a gas/water line lateral and then not repaved very well. When there aren't bumps in the road, all is quiet. It's really noticeable with the windows down, although I can hear it muffled when the rear seats are down.
Anybody have any suggestions about where to start? Anecdotal reports suggest the rear anti-sway bar bushings or links. Or struts/bushings.
Is there an easy way to determine if it is one of these? I just wanted to check it out, then will probably be off to my local mechanic. Are there any parts (OEM or otherwise) that are good to use (or avoid :)
Thanks!
