Right rear suspention banging, please help.

When I go over a medium size bump the right rear rattles like a shock or something is loose. I have owned my car for ten years and now it sounds like an old pos. The shocks were just replaced, passenger side twice & today. Energy suspention trailing arm bushings are also new.The exhaust is not hitting anything either. I thought after having A new monroe sensa trac strut unit with the spring I was sure it would be fixed. Two seperate mechanics tell me everything is tight. The only thing I have not chainged is the Lateral link. Please tell me what to look for.Thanks. Brian.

Pull your e brake one click when your going over bumps see if the noise goes away.

If it does then your rear caliper hardware needs a look over to make sure everything was installed correctly

Does that come installed on a premium quality 1 day old complete strut assembly (reading off the box)?

Can a new es trailing arm bushing shift? What would happen if a lateral link bushing is bad?
