Default Help annoying noise

I just raised my car back to stock, but now it is making a clanching noise in the back as if someone is tapping under my car. I only does it when I am driving slow and driving over little bumps and flaws in the road. I know it isn't the shocks or springs because when I go over a speed bump they don't make any noise. Not sure what it is, I jacked up the car and tight all the nuts and bolts in the rear. So i give up trying to figure it out. Don't feel like taking it to a shop.

Thanks!

hmmm what you might want to do is have some one drive it slowly and over flaws in the road, while you're walking behind it or aside of it looking and listening to what it could be. that could be a way to diagnose it. get back to me if that helps

check your rear sway bar the bolts might be loose. If they are not check your (rear) Control arms the bushing might be warnout or damaged.

Check the lug nuts on the rear wheels, If it's makeing a clicking noise or something similar it could be 1 or more loose lug nuts.

No I raised it up a few months ago and it still makes the same noise. It kinda sounds like an exhaust pipe under the car hitting on something. It is so freakin annoying it drives me nuts. Still can't figure it out. I think my rear bushing are worn out or something.
