are they front or rears? i had the same prob with the rears on my old EF. they were all good for a couple of days then really noisy.......turned out that i had done them up with the car on the jack still (unloaded) and when it was back on the ground it was loaded up and driving in this position caused the bolts to come loose. so crawled under (hard with superlows) and did them up again on the ground and all was good
there is a difference with standard and lowered shocks, lowered have a shorter stroke |

I too had this same problem with my EL. I just tightened them then, and there is no knock when I push on the back of the car any more. I'm about to go for a drive and test it some more.
