ok so im driving home and i go to turn right up this hill and all the sudden i hear this buckling noise. at first i thought maybe something got stuck under the car so i stop whip out teh trusty mini maglight......nothing underthere..hmm so i drive on......keeps going so now im like...wtf shock knock...but this is happening at like all times, not when i hit bumps and its LOUD. it sounds like something is buckling and then popping back into place. when it happens fast it sounds like popcorn popping......so i cant really jack the car up till next weekend so hopefully it cures itself by then....but do you guys have any ideas of what it could be
so far ive thought:
possibly shock knock (please gawd no)
maybe a dry bushing on my swaybar (not stock)
somebody suggested it might an issue with a shifted swaybar that is hitting the control arm...
btw this noise is only on the rear passenger side and i can make this little sound when i put all my weight on that part of the trunk area...i need teh helpsause

i did search shock knock ect...and couldnt find anything relatively the same as my issue. im gonna look tomorrow in the daylight to see if i can notice something unusual

wow, I know the neuspeed and progress come with new brackets, perhaps that is the reason?
