Default rear shocks done ??? (video inside)


sound is at the 0:29 second mark in the video


for the last few weeks i have been having this noise in the rear of my car.

had a slight noise in the front as well so i took it to the dealer, they could not replicate the noise in the rear but they found my front shocks were collapsed and done for.

it was warranty work so easy peasy.

So here we are again with the rear noise, it sounds bad on the inside but worse on the outside on the car.

Anyone got any clues ???

im in a 2012 with 74K on the clock.

My front passenger side makes a similar noise and they said it's the shock. Shocks should usually be replaced every 60k but depending on road conditions that can vary.

Will the warranty cover shocks with 74K miles on the car? I thought it might be considered a wear & tear item at that point..

Are shocks part of drivetrain or do you still have comprehensive warranty left on your car?

That sounds like the exhaust squeaking/rattling to me.

My xforce squeaks a bit over bumps, but I could reproduce it by shaking it manually.
