Rear shock 4 Years, 11 Months ago

Not necessarily the shock (and probably not) ... you need to pinpoint it better and there are various areas that can 'rattle' when you hit a bump. Doc

Check your belt guard. Tap it with your finger and you will likely get it to rattle. Eventhough the bolts are tight it is so flimsy it rattles anyway.
