Help Please...banging noise in the rear.

[Ponch]

About a week ago my car (2006 Charger SE) started making a weird knocking/banging noise in the back. It progressively got worse, now its pretty loud and it does it as I go over small bumps or if I brake hard. After investigating, I found that the noise is coming from the right rear. If i rock the car up and down, I can hear it making that noise. Sounds like it's coming from the general area where the shock is.

As a way of adding relevant info, I'm rolling on 22"s and I just had the Eibach Pro Kit springs installed back in August. And yes, I was warned by some of you folks that the Eibachs might kill my stock shocks.

I suspect it could be that the shock is toast...but do they usually go one at a time? I'd have figured that if they went, they'd do it at the same time.

Any thoughts and/or opinions? I kinda want to have an idea of what could be wrong with it before I take it to the dealer/shop and end up needing a tub of KY after their diagnosis.

Thanks in advance!

I had a clunk that was coming from the right rear. I went over my whole suspension twice with no luck. Turns out is was coming from my exhaust, one of the pipes had broken off the muffler (probably when we originally installed my suspension). Don't forget to check that too.

No midget, sir. But maybe I should double check and make sure the hooker really is dead.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Though I would have also thought that if anything the left sides would go first, since that's where my fat@$$ sits (i rarely have passengers). Who knows....maybe i did run over one pothole too many. At least my rims didn't get bent again.

Damn it, I am not fast enough, I was thinking "ex-wife still in the trunk"..could be the same as a Hooker..or even a "little person".
