[PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED] - found out that because of what holds my exhaust up from the ground has been rusting, my exhaust has slowly been wanting to fall off. The muffler was removed weeks prior to this BASICALLY because it broke off. And after I jacked up my car, I learned that the only thing holding my whole exhaust up was the bracket/rubber thing that connects to the exhaust and transmission. And I could see part of the propeller shaft moving up and down due to the up and down movement of the exhaust and the weight of the exhaust. Really scared me, though, because I thought something suspension-wise was effed up. Guess I should jack up my car more often :P What the description said previous to the fix: "There's this annoying sound that just made its presence today on my car. It's ONLY coming from the driver's side rear wheel well. When the body bounces up and down, it makes this sound. The last thing I messed with down there was when I installed new PBM RUCAs to replace the stock ones, which happened just over 2 months ago (Jan 2014). I've had my coilovers for just under a year now. I also did a 5 lug conversion about 8 months ago, removing the old 4 lug hubs and replacing them with 5 lug hubs. My best guess is that the coilover is making this sound. I have not looked under there yet without removing the wheel. I listed the RUCA because I feel like I did not adjust it correctly after installing it, although this daily driver 240 has been running fine for the last 2 months with it installed. Help is much appreciated!"
