I have a 2016 Acura RDX AWD. When hitting potholes or recessed manhole covers or any other "sharp bump", but not gentle bumps, there is a hollow metal rattling sound. This sound is coming from the driver-side rear tire area and is most prevelant with the windows down. It sounds like something hitting a heavy gauge heat shield. If the passenger-side rear tire hits the same types of bumps there is no noise. Which leads me to believe it is something within the tire/suspension on the driver-side rear tire.
What I have done already (with no success):
- Tightened down spare tire
- New tires
- Alignment (shop only adjusted front as the rear was within tolerances)
+ Re-torqued suspension components
Checked shock for leaks (none found)
Disconnected/removed sway bar end links and problem persisted
