    Just to throw this out there..... Do you have any loose tools in the small compartment behind the drivers seat?

The upper bushing on the DMCH drivers rear shock split in half and was sitting wedged between the frame and the pontoon. The shock must have been rolling around in the hole and banging back and fourth. Luckily there was less than 2 miles put on the car since hearing the noise and just driving it around the neighborhood, so I imagine any damage is minimal to the shock or the frame. Talked to Stephen at the Celebration show on Saturday and will get a new bushing sent out sometime this week.

    Me too! Damn bushings is right! Torqued em down to spec but from the looks of it the bushing wasn't seated straight and may not have had the full lip in the hole.
