Rear shock rattle

After installing some medium priced coil overs I realized a rattle when I go over bumps and such and am wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how to fix it

Did you replace the mounting hardware? It is essential on a 100k car or you’re cheap.

What coilover set did you go with? Did you replace the mounting hardware? Any other mods to the suspension? Did you torque everything to spec at ride height?

This is the final and I suspect the most overlooked step, I imagine a lot of bushings have been torn from torquing while lifted or noises afterwards.
