Rear shock rattle

An obvious rattle coming from the left rear suspension going over bumps. Dealer said it was a bad shock. They replaced it. Was ok for awhile and now making the same sound. I'll take it back to the dealer. Could it be something else?

A rattle or a rubber rubbing sound? Could be the ends of the shock need lubrication. If it was the other side I would say it the exhaust as the stock hangers are very soft.

I'm having a similar issue but I have aftermarket coilovers. I checked and recheck the suspension but still can't figure it out. I have the Cobb exhaust hangers so I really don't think it's my exhaust hitting. I'm thinking about putting my gopro under there to see if I can find anything. It's only the rear right which is installed exactly the same as rear left and I've checked the shock again and again with wheel removed.
