Today I was cruising and hit a bad part of road (bumpy) and the back end was kinda jumping all over from the bumps. Now it seems I hear a dull rattle in the rear. Is it just my imagination? Does anybody else with a working AAS have a small like quite rattle while going over bumps?

I hope so. So you think the AAS can withstand a bit of potholes? Guess I'm just a paranoid person.

Guess I should take the cargo cover out and see if it still does it. Maybe it's just that thing bouncing around.

How did you figure out the shock was blown? If I bounce the car, it doesn't make the noise. It only makes a 'thud' when I go over bumps now on the inside of the car.

I suggest removing the speakers in the hatch and checking your upper shock mounts. Also check the sway bar end links, wheel bearings, camber bar, etc.

I already figured out the problem. It was the jack in the rear jumping around from not being secure.
