 Last night, as I got out of my car I heard a metallic scraping sound 
 coming from the left rear suspension.  
 
 I pushed down a few times on the trunk to put weight on the suspension 
 and heard the sound every time it compressed and retracted.
 
 Does anyone have suggestions for what the problem may be?

Sounds like the rubber part of the upper shock mount is broken.  A relatively
common and straight forward fix.
