Default Metal clatter coming from rear shocks

Installed tokico d-spec shocks and eibach sportline springs. When I go over bumpers or any irregularities in the road, i hear metal clatter/squeaking/rattling coming from what seems to be my rear strut cover/shocks or something behind the drivers side. I have no idea what it is. I removed the two plastic pieces from the left and right of the rear strut bar cover and the noise got louder when I was driving. I used a flashlight to see if I could see anything rattling inside but to no prevail. I need helping on finding out what the problem may be. Please if anyone has info let me know!! thanks

Mike

Unfortunetly this could be a plethora of things, from loose bolts/bad shock install to bad suspension parts to components hitting the ground over dips/speedbumps.

You have got to do your best in narrowing the possibilites down seeing as how we cannot hear the sound.

thanks bro, i figured it out earlier. the two nuts at the top of the rear struts were loose but i have never been able to access them until i cut a square in the strut cover above each strut and tightened the nuts like crazy. problem solved!!!!
