The rear was sagged down, bottoming out over bumps, and the axle was banging against the exhaust. Those problems are now gone. It might be my imagination, but I think that since I removed and reinstalled the top shock bushing the sound is actually slightly worse. I think I should invest the effort to get a look at the other (bottom) bushing (that which sits directly on top of the shock). John
