I'm willing to meet up with someone to go for a ride and see if we cant pin point this.
Mine does the same, I have yet to figure it out. Body flex will probably not be easy to pinpoint.

Grant said I might have to take out the rear seats and trim and check some braces in the back

Here are the vids. I'm surprised the phone was able to capture the sound very well. You will know the pops and creaks I am talking about, they are very obvious Sounds like it comes from both ends too.

@10 seconds

@4


On the last one you can clearly hear both side popping, I was hitting driveways sideways by the 7/11 and Vons shopping center.

Grant and I looked at the rear suspension and he took out the shocks, everything looked good visually. The sway bar end links didn't feel bad at all but at 17$ a piece, I might start there.

Check this out

The only difference is that I hear more towards the top...or maybe sound travels from way down there through the body into the cabin? I also thought about taking apart where the seat belts go on the body. I hear the popping right around that general area.

i felt my "strut" and it was my endlink, grant also looked at mine and visually they looked fine... the sound did seem to come over the top.. and not really in the swaybar area... grant also heard the noise, but idk.. that cured my problem.

Where did you get the end links from? I see them on a few sites from different manufacturers anywhere from 15-33$ but not sure which to go with.
