E36 M3 rear suspension noise

["Geoffery Kao" <geoffm3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys, I recently posted my concern about the noise that's coming 
from my rear suspension that's been bothering me for quite some time.
For those of you that replied, I thank you guys greatly!  For the ones 
that don't know my situation, I have Bilstein Sports, H&R 29910.1, and 
RD sway bars.  I first changed the shock mounts, but the noise still 
stays.  I then took the advice to check the sway bar links, they were 
all tight.  I then checked my e-brake cable, that too turned out tight 
as well.  Damn, all the things checked out fine!!! but the darn noise is 
still there!!!  I took it to my no-good-incompetant dealer which was 
absolutely no help to the problem, and they told me that the shocks were 
bad???  now, is that possible???  the noise is a klunking noise, it only 
does it when the car goes over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, it kinda 
rattles and makes a metallic klunking noise.  I'm hesitant to send the 
shocks back to bilstein, after all they are only four month old.....  
Now, my question is, when shocks go bad, is this the kind of noise they 
make???  All helpful replies are greatly appreciated, TIA!!!
