My dad and I both have "02's and he had a hell of a time when he had rear shocks replaced. The bolts that hold the shock to the lower arm were hitting the boot on the shock and making a noise. You say you can't hear this when you bounce the car up and down though ???? I replaced mine and changed those cheap pieces of crap with some real bolts/lock washers/nuts. My car also makes a wierd noise when you take off. Like a creeking old rocker, I can't figure it out and I'm not about to start changing parts at those prices. I now just turn the radio up and they seem to have gone away. Good luck.
