Default Knocking in Rear

When I hit a bump and the rear is rebounding, I'm hearing a knock - I've checked everything - shocks seem to be in place. Am having SYE and new drive shaft put in tomorrow. I don't know if that will correct or if there is something else causing this?

are your ubolts torqued to spec? myne has a similar knock and that is the problem.

otherwise check for your leafs hitting on the exaust.

no problem, they like to come loose so check them every couple of months and after you wheel.
