Replaced rear shock/strut mounts and still have board noise
Hello all,
I recently replaced my rear shock/struts and honestly I think I have more "board" noise than I had with the OEM's... I ensured that everything is tight, and torqued to specs, but I still get it on both sides, more on the passenger though. The shocks/struts are standard replacements (nothing performance), but I thought for sure they would be better than the OEM's!
I'm running the Bridgestone RFT Driveguards and know RFT's don't have the smoothest or quietest ride, but the board noise is another thing.....
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thank you!

+1 check the sway bar bushings and end links, also make sure nothing is loose back there and retorque the bolts, the rear suspension bolts can get loose easy if not torqued to spec.
