It has gotten progressively worse... it happens when I go around corners or over bumps, or am just slowly idling through a parking lot. My mind instantly goes to a popping u-joint. But at only 47k miles, I find that hard to believe. Anyone else have a similar problem, or ideas of what it could be? Since my car is way out of warranty, where should I take it to get looked at, and not get completely shafted?
Open Rear Liftgate you will see area on both sides where paint seems to be chewed up from liftgate stoppers. Install a piece of dense foam available at aftermarket auto stores for installing pick up truck box. My noise gone now.
