Ok guys I know everyone has rattles but this one is driving me off a cliff. It sounds like it is comming from the rear wheel well on the passenger side and it sounds like straight metal on metal. I checked EVERY bolt i could find to see if it was loose and took off the caliper and all but that seemed fine. I was wondering if it could be something inside the rear? Any suggestions pleaaaseee maybe i'll throw in some money...maybe
later

 

is your exhaust touching anything?

 

It doesn't seem to be. This rattle sounds like there is a piece of metal hanging on the side of the car just dangling. Mean sound.
I'll be back later if you have any other solutions

 

spare tire or jack and wrench?

 

naa took all that stuff out...even took apart the plastic stuff for the interior all off so i could find it. keep em comming though thanks

 

Well, I had a rattle something like that and the top nut on the rear shock was loose. Cat guts loose indide

Broken shock tower?

 

heat shield for the gas tank? could a loose parhard bar bolt. the last one was the case for me in my 86'.

 

What do you mean in the shock tower? How is the easiest way to get to the gas tank strap bolts. Oh and also do you guys think it could be something in the rear?

 

Well, I like the one about the panhard/track bar bolts. I also had loose lower control arm bolts.

Does it rattle all the time? only over bumps? at certain speeds?

 

check the LCA and sway bar bushings. You might have a loose or broken bushing.

Does it sound like a box of loose tools in the rear, or just a piece of metal rattling?

 

I get big rattles over bumps when a control arm bolt is loose, also have had the top nut on my shock loosen before and sound real loose and rattly.

 

It's whenever it gets the chance to rattle. I mean sometimes its not as bad as other times but for the most part it is whenever there is a lot of vibration. My sway bar bushings aren't in the best condition could that be the problem?
