I have an 02 5.7l Z28 camaro. It has roguhly 63,000 miles on it and its an automatic. I have never had to take it to get repairs done. I have DMS 1.5" lowering springs on it with an adjustable panhard rod for the past year and a half. Lately i have noticed a rattle coming from under the car, sounds like the rear end, when i hit bumps in the road. When i check under the car everything seems to be tight..any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Is the rattling noise, Does it sound like metal or thud sound?. Have you checked all the nuts and bolts to see if they are scure?. Could have something loose on youre exhaust.

I figured out what the noise was this weekend when i was changing my rotors. There are two metal holders at the rear of the car, one side is bolted to the frame and then the other side boxes around the brake line. The holder on the rear driver side was just dangling down on the brake line so everytime i hit a bump it would rattle against the axle. I bent the metal sqare apart and just took it off and now everything is fine.
