just bought a 2011 STS AWD V6 with 15k mi on it love it, however it does have a rapping/ rattle noise coming from the left rear at low speed only , sounds like it could be a shock , wondering if any others have experienced that. had a friend take a ride and thinks it a blown shock

Yup, totally understand. I had a Cadillac dealer put a $1000.00 shock and other parts into mine, only to not completely solve the problem. Have a look through the thread I placed a link to in my last post. The way noise radiates through the body, I was sure it was the shock as well (as did the dealership). It wasn't until I replaced my door strikes that the problem went away.

I posted pics of the old and new door strikers in that other thread. This should help you determine if you have the upgraded part. It may be a shock, but at that mileage, I really doubt it.
