Need help pinpointing the rear clunk, click or knock is coming from. Pic inside
Hello
Maxima 2009 S with 18 stock wheels and new tires, 86k miles. Rear shocks replaced a month ago because they were leaking. I agreed on the service hoping it will eliminate the "clicking", it did not!
I have a slight knock coming from the back of the car. It is a type of noise that make you think something (a box or luggage) is loose in the trunk or the trunk itself is not very securely locked, it happens only at slow speed less than say 20 mph to 30mph, feint but I can definitely hear (feel) it. Sometimes it does that on those metal connectors on bridges with good pavement, because it can not (oversound) bigger road irregularities. I can't really pinpoint a specific side like it seems bilateral.
Rear suspension seems fine when inspected, including control arms, mounts, shocks or sway bars.
1. Could it be the trunk struts?
2. Loose mufflers? I am suspecting it might be. Can these bracket circled in red cause these clicking noises?
I appreciate your input.
