Not sure it might have been a few bumps I hit but for some reason the rear driver side side suspension keeps making this noise every time the car dips even a little. I can go and push on the side of the car a little and it will make the noise. What could be causing this problem? I’ve put in a brand new strut mount today but the sound is still there. The car drives and handles as usual except for that annoying sound. Any suggestions?

I have your same setup, but I don't get any noises from the rear (however, the fronts are a different story). It could be spring noise. There's a thread about it floating around somewhere. Basically you just buy some black electrical-style tape and tape up the spring coils. The point here is to insulate the coils from rubbing against each other, and to insulate the coils from rubbing the shock and mount.

Do you have all the isolators on the springs and are the springs sitting flush on the perches?

Those are the 2 most common causes of weird noises that I've seen. Additionally, sometimes the noises just go away after a while when all the components have settled into position.
