Hello, I am having some trouble with the rear of my car as I have a rod end shock (like the M3 uses) and I am getting a knocking noise from the rear of my car. I'd like to know what the stock M3 lower rear shock mount looks like. Is it a bearing that connects it to the camber link? Or is it some kind of rubber with a metal piece inside? Would someone kindly take a closeup picture of the lower rear shock mount? It would really help me out because my indy nor I can find the source of the sound! :(

Thanks
If you are talking about the lower mounting piece on the strut itself, it's a rubber bushing with metal insert where the bolt passes through to mount to the control arm.

That is perfect. I always wondered how they stayed so quiet. If only my coilovers had a rubber piece there to reduce noise like stock M3 ...
