LR320 moving metal parts by the spare tire

[mywifesrangie]

Hi fam, eveyday is a new adventure since we got this car.. a few days ago we started to hear some nosie from the back, it comes with some evey uncomfortable movements like the car was bouncing in a very werid way.
So i crawled down trying to identify where and what, the usual suspects (sway bar and bushings) surprisingly look good. When I was looking around the spare tire area i found two pieces of metal hanging, and when I move them, they squeak with the same sound we heard .. can some kindly tell me what they may be?

I’ve attached a link that should explain it. I have a 2011 RRS - a direct descendant of the LR3 that makes a peculiar hum from time to time and the clears up that I put down to the same weights but not clunking yet- thank goodness.

Thank you for the info!

Let me know what you end up doing about it in case I ever get to that point . As it is I may have to lift the rear of the body up to replace the ACE active sway bar fitted to the rrs as it is seeping fluid. In which case I would replace those bushings at the same time regardless of what it is doing. Good luck .

They cancel out vibration frequencies in the chassis/frame.
I wouldn't mess with them.
