Besides the obvious things, what could be causing that hollow knocking sound from the back when I go over bumps. Ive checked the spare, moulding and misc parts. Nothing...Anything you guys and gals know?

Do you have an ADDCCO Rear sway bar? They clunk if positioned incorrectly.

No No, stock, except for smc shifter and k&n. I started soon after I had teh car in for first maintenace tune up.

my best guess is the spare or the trunk table on top of the spare moving up over bumps...

well Im going to strip the trunk......If it is still going on, I will get ****ed at nissan because they act all cocky, but they never figure out my problems, even though there is a board full of people her with the same one.

Remove the skateboard from the trunk. That worked for me!

First I thought is was the dead body, but it wasnt....

When I first got my car, the rear rod broke of the muffler hanger...thus causing the tailpipe to knock against the bumper.
That was a good enough reason me to change out the exhaust at the time.

Oh, and be sure your trunk is closed...

Yeah, I thought it was the dead body I had in the truck...

I have a feeling that could be the following:
1. shock mounts loose
2. trunk floor covering bouncing
3. loose muffler mount

The trunk floor, I swear i thought it was that...well im stripping the trunk saturday afternoon, carpet, tire everything.....if it still does it, im sure it is the suspension or mount somewhere.

Thanks for the idea!!!

ok, i stripped the trunk, and it is still there....It almost sounds like a cookie tray when you try bending it and it pops back into place...Could it be shock mount?

I recently dropped my car off to have a few things repaired and one being that noise that you are experiencing. I'll update you with whatever they find. (That's if they find out what it is)
