I have complained about a noise, which sounds like loose packages in the trunk, but the dealer has never been able to locate it.

I have had the shock absorbers replaced and the exhaust system replaced.

Open your trunk lid, wrap a towel or two between it and the body. Bundee cord it down and drivet it to see if the trunk lid is not completely tight.

Were the mounts for the struts replaced? checked?

Check for a cracked weld where the radious arm bracket is attached at the frame.

Check both sway bar links and sway bar frame to body bushings. grabe the sway bar and try to move it in those bushings...should be no play. Grab and move the sway bar links, should be no play.

There are 4 body mounts that are probley fine, but could be that.

Check your exhaust by grabbing the tailpipe and joustling it.
