Do a google (or eBay) search for rear stabilizer links. You can get two
for the price of one on eBay. The get very noisy when going over bumps.
Clack clack. For the road test your dealer sent a mechanic who wears no
hearing protection while using air tools. Find a bumpy dirt road and get
your helper to (carefully) hang out the tailgate or door to see where
it's coming from. You're supposed to be able to get them off with a
14?mm wrench and a 5mm allen wrench, but you should have a nut-splitter
at the ready to cut the frustration level down. :-)
