What kind of tires does he have? The Boxster I just bought has cheap Kuhmos on it. They are noisy as hell. I thought the right rear brake was dragging. Shop said, "Nope. Just noisy tires. We don't recommend those tires for these cars."

Thanks for your assistance Mike...but I have good Potenza tires!

It is not a tire noise...When I drive at low speed on bad pavement ONLY...I hear like something shaking in the trunk but it is coming from the rear right wheel area!

It's sound like something loose on the brake disc (like some old GM cars does when they hit a hole or a bump...) but I cannot find anything...
I checked the sway bar bushing..ok
Absorber shock,and bearing ok too..I cannot find any loose on the wheel as well
Nothing in the trunk !
I read few posts where they say bad control arm or bad control arm link...I am hoping it's not that !!!!! It's costly.......

Have a good evening and thanks again

I Have the same problem on my 2001 Boxster. From what I can see the issue could be bad CVs, Motor Mounts, or the rear upper control arm. I have looked under the car and tried to identify the problem but I may have to resort to the dealership or reputable mech.

it's your track rod. you can get rebuilt ones from vertex automotive. alternatively, you can buy an aftermarket set from deluboz parts.
