Looking for some guidance here:  couple of years ago I installed the Blind 
Moose gas shock mod and almost immediately began to notice a rattling sound 
coming from the driver's side rear suspension.  Over time it has grown worse.  
On smooth pavement--no problems.  On rough pavement--particularly brick or 
cobble stone roads it sounds as if the entire rear end of the car is ready to 
fall out.
Over the weekend I removed everything except the diff in an effort to find the 
cause of the rattle or banging.  The swing arm bushing are relatively new and 
tight.  All nuts were tight on the shock assembly and the half shafts.  Bolts 
from the flange to the diff were tight.  Everything is tight which leads me to 
think I may have a fracture some where.  I spent an hour yesterday looking for 
signs of a fracture but had no luck.
Can anyone out there describe for me where to look.  Does anyone have a photo 
showing where they encountered a fracture that sounded like a rattle on rough 
pavement?  I just don't know what else to look for.
