Rattling from back of my X5
What I need help here is that if my procedure of tightening the top screws and the screws to the body is proper. My procedure for tightening the screws is as below: 1. assemble everything onto the shocks (rubber tube, yellow stopper, support beating and other stuffs); 2. tighten the top screw by hand as tight as I can, as the support bearing turns when I am tightening the screw, so I am not quite sure if the tightening torque is met; 3. put the whole shock in place and tighten the big screw as tight as I can, I used my foot to push the screw until it could not turn anymore, so I think the screw is tighten to or even over the torque specific; 4. tighten the 3 screws that link to the body; 5. lower the car on its wheel and finished the job. In the procedure above, do I have to tighten the top screw again after lowering the car on its wheel? If the rattling noise is caused by loose screws, I think the only possibility is the top screw. Any idea from you guys? Thanks for help!

Is it possible that you are hearing noise from the drive-train, maybe u-joint or axle joint, and not the shocks. You might have stressed something in the drive-line when you had the car jacked up.

I only used the jack point and the rear sub-frame to support the car, so I don't think I stressed anything when jacking up the car. I think I will try to tighten the top screw of the shocks and the screws that connect to the body and see if it solve the rattling. If not, I will try to replace the rear swing bar link to see if it works. Thanks for comment.

Have you checked the upper boot lid stoppers, 2 round rubber pads on each side of the boot frame....sometimes they need adjusting. It could also be the air compressor bracket/frame...did you loosen it when you worked on the suspension?

Yes, the triangular frame that sits on top of the battery.
