There is this noise from the rear end especially when i drive on a rough surface road. Also there is this noise from the front right wheel especially after climbing a road bump (this is strange after installing a new shock absorber system). The ABS and Traction Lights would not clear from the dashboard after the shocks. What could be responsible for these.

are they the correct shocks for an electronic system? are they plugged in and were any wires or connectors broken? have the wheel bearing checked for front and see if it's tire noise for the rear.

@hmac, i presume the shocks are correct. The mechanic said the rear stabilizer bar link need to be replaced but i doubt if this is the problem. similar exercise was recommended and performed on the front wheels still the noise has not abated. Thanks

well we can't hear it so it has to be checked locally if the stabilizer need s to be fixed itmay be the bushing are allowing to much axle movement causing your noise in the rear.
