Have all the cradle bushes checked, BA's are common wearers of Cradle bushes, bit job to change as the Cradle has to come out.

Have seen a case where the big bolt that goes into the back of the diff hat strip. You have to drop the cradle to fix it.

Hey Mate, I had this EXACT same problem in my 03 Fairmont Ghia. Took it to the mechanic and he put two brand new shockies in the back end, havent heard that sound since.

alot of people damage the link rods when fitting. You need to hold the rod from turning with a shifter, otherwise you tear the rubber.
