Anyone change their springs front and rear on a 2009 hatch and experience any noises (eg rattles, clicks) when I am driving? Could it be the springs are moving or maybe too short? I kept original struts. Ideas please.

Retighten your nuts , check for loose debris in the spare tire well , check plastic panels to see if any have popped out , and check your passenger side seatbelts . They may be bumping against the plastic when you hit bumps .

The plastic panel attached to the rear hatch can rattle like crazy . Used sticky back felt to ease the noise . Had to have the other 1/2 drive on some poor streets while sitting in back seat listening and pinpointing the rattle(s) . Then applied the sticky felt to those areas . Did help some . The rattles seemed to get worse when the weather gets warmer . Likely due to expansion and the heat weakening the plastics ( less rigid ) . The brake light in the hatch window can rattle as well . May need felt for that too .
