02 - rattle & banging in the rear area

RE: 02 - rattle & banging in the rear area
It could be:
1. Bad rear struts.
2. Bad rear strut mounts.
3. Bad sway bar bushings.
A friend of mine bought the extended warranty for his XG and I think he had a problem with the strut mounts and got them replaced under warranty at about the same mileage.

RE: 02 - rattle & banging in the rear area
After bouncing the rear of the vehicle, I knew the shocks were okay.
Jacked up the rear and removed wheels, could notsee that any bushings on any of the linkage were bad.
After replacing the wheel's & lowering the vehicle, placed a mirrow where I could see the top of the shock- the insulation bushing were gone- 1/4" gap. Will order new ones.
Thanks for the advise- will let you know if this solves the problem- 95% sure it will.

I have the same problem on my 2001 XG350 with 90K miles. Appears that I need to replace the rear strut bushings.
Can you please provide instructions on how to DIY them. Do I need special tools?
Thanks for your help.
