I got some rattle going around tight turns in parking lots.. finally got a chance to look closely at the rear suspension. Large trucj bags with an adaptor plate, either Sully's or a close clone. After fixing the air line leak, they go up and down and stay put. Inspection showed that all four of the mount bolts were either finger tight or loose two or three threads, leading to movement and noise. I've a two foot breaker bar and a socket which fits them, so they ain't coming loose again any time soon. Dunno what the official torque spec is on that bolt but I suspect it's tighter than that now. Now I'm looking for storage space, it appears to have less than the 23'.
