The thing that drives me crazy is that the noise only comes from the left side, so there has to be something else wrong.

Nope. Already ruled that out with a road test sans jack assembly.

I mentioned in another thread that I changed my endlinks to Bwoody. After changing the back, I took the car for a test drive, and got the rattle in the back left. The endlinks were tight, but I tightened them some more and it fixed the problem. Similiary on the front I was about to start changing the front and put a wrench on the nut that holds the endlink on and the bolt and nut turned together less then a quarter of a turn. Had to stop and run to the store, and that little bit made the front start to rattle, so when I got home I tightened it as much as I could and that seemed to fix it. Just thought it might be worth looking at. They seem to have to be incredibly tight not to rattle.

Hey hwy101. When you changed your rear shocks did you have to change the springs. I have a similar issue with my rt. I've tried to let it go but I just can't. I've let air out of the tires in hope it would help and it has, but not enough. I see the part numbers you have added....are they the shocks for the citadel or crew. Will it change the ride height and do you know what it will do to our towing capacity.
