Default torque boxes

anyone have an undercar picture of these? amazing, i have 3 lifts to myself at work, and i've never looked. i think they might be the culprit of a loud noise in the rear, going around corners. sounds like something rolling around in the trunk? i have a small gouge in the driveshaft from the lip on the muffler on the right side, so something is shifty back there.

well first off your exhaust might have a broken hanger or it needs to be redone because if it is rubbing your driveshaft something is wrong with the exhaust system not the suspension or anything, the exhaust moves with the body. A dent or crease in the driveshaft will allow the car to drive like **** and make it shake at certain speeds. First off I'd take it to an exhaust shop and get the exhaust checked out, I'd replace the driveshaft as well since there is a dent in it. check out the shocks as well... might be junk.

Well I thought I had some of mine, I just looked at them and they're not really what I think you want.

However, here's an article on re-inforcements. Hopoe this helps ya.
