rear bumper question.

Ever since I added my system into my car, the rear bumper has had this annoying rattley shake kinda thing going on on the driver side.

when i went to the seboc meet in georgia bavarian soundwerks was there and the guys said i would probably have to remove my bumper and remount everything proporly with rubber washers and fix up anything lose behind it all. so my question is

can anyone point me to the right place to find out how to remove the rear bumper, a diy on taking it off / replacing would suffice, just so i know how to get it off and back on.

thanks.

Here is what a "friend" told me :
There are only a few bolts that when undone release the rear bumper from the frame...

1 Two support bolts: one is located near the inner muffler region and the other symetrically on the other side.

2 Two more bolts at the very ends of the bumper in the wheel wells on support brackets.

3 There's one last bolt near the muffler, rather big.

I'd take pictures, but I don't have a jack and I can't fit my fat ass under the rear end.

Hope it's accurate and helps....

Dynomats?

Try putting some dynomats around ur bumper. That may absorb some of the vibration going to ur bumper.
