Yes worth checking this, seems to be quite common for the bolt that goes in the bottom of the shock absorber to cross thread and not tighten up fully, which leaves the weight at the bottom of the shock absorber to rattle around. I currently have this issue on my recently acquired ZT-T, makes a constant knocking/wobbly rattle noise at the rear of the car.
