welp i have more problems with the car..
there is a clunking type noise which sound like it is coming from the passenger rear side of my car. I jacked the car up and everything appears to be tight and nothing looks broken. I only get the noise when i hit bumps. The noise sounds like a loose piece of metal in my trunk getting thrown around, and yes my trunk is empty.... Any Ideas ???

i had the same noise.
ended up being a broken endlink.
i had looked under the car prior to bringing it to the dealer, and found nothing.
they found it right away.

Definitly sway bar end links. Mine are shot right now too...same noise. Had the problem with my 1st CSVT too.
While we're on the subject of sway bar end links, does anyone know what the deal is with replacing them? I went to the local auto parts place and all they had to sell me were the bushings. I thought the whole link peice got replaced too?
