Default What’s wrong with my rear suspension?

I have an 08 350z with 31000 miles, whenever I run over bumps or any cracks etc, the rear of my vehicle sounds like there’s something rattling. It’s hard to explain. Like aluminum cans jumping around back there haha. Does anyone know what’s wrong and what I can do it get it fixed?

inspect everything... if there is black goo running down the subframe, it is blown out. nobody will be able to diagnose your car over the internet... the best thing to do is to crawl under it and look. if you are not mechanically inclined, my gut says you are not, then take it to a shop
