Question My rear is bouncing going over bumps???

When I go over a bump, or riding on a brick road, the right rear wheel or somewhere around there is loose and is just bouncing. I can't describe it really any better. I thought it was my lower control arm loose at the subframe connector because this has happened before, but I tightened using my car jack on the socket wrench for torque, but it's still loose. Anyone have any clue what the problem could be? TIA.

I don't think that's it. If I push down on the car it seems fine. It's only on the right rear side and sounds as if something is loose. Thanks for the reply. The shocks only have 25k miles by the way.

You got me thinking now though that maybe it's the shock bolt to the frame.

Re: My rear is bouncing going over bumps???

yeah, i had to bend part of the body up in there. there is a piece that the rear quarter welds to the t-top storage area...yeah, i put some vice grips there and wrenched it towards the wheel. it stopped the rattle until it got really cold and the tips touched. but it stopped the rattle for a while
