Default Suspension noise

I have noticed the suspension on my wifes caliber becoming increasingly noisey over the last few months. Whenever you cross railroad tracks or any uneven pavement you can hear what sounds like the coils springs and or the strut tubes themselves compressing and decompressing . It sounds like they are rubbing the sheetmetal. The car is a front wheel drive model and it's all 4 wheels that are making the noise. I haven't had time to get under it and look at the springs. Any one else having this problem?

I have not noticed any noise coming from mine. Maybe because of the two twelve inch subs I have in the back. But seriously if it is making noise, I would take it to the dealer and let them fix their problem. Dont waste your time on it, let the warranty do its thing.

The rear suspension is leaf springs just like a truck, suspension, in fact the car sits on a dakota suspension, the sound your hearing could just be a tight suspension, it will work its way out.
