Default Jag IRS noise

I have a noise that appears to be coming from the rear suspension that I can not track down and am wondering if someone else has run into this.

The best way I can discribe the noise is it sounds like when we used to put playing cards on our bicycles so that they would hit the spokes when the bikes was moving. A clicking if you will. I generally only here it at free way speeds. It is not always present and the intensity vary. It does tie to the speed being traveled. It happens most just in steady state cruising and you can often get rid of it by lifting or accelorating. It does not sound all that loud but when you pass by another car you can really hear it echo of the other car.

I have looked for stuff that was loose, lubed everything, changed the rear end lube and added the proper friction modifiers and looked carefully for some thing that might come in contact with half shafts and drive shaft with zero results.

If any one has run into this one please let me know!

Rick
