Buzzing/ratteling in the rearend

For some reason evertime i go over a bump or the rear suspension goes down there is a ratteling/buzzing sound from the back. it souns like it could be a loss muffler clamp but i havbe checked all the clamps and its only when you go over a bump and the rear suspension goes down.. does anyone know what this might be?

Check the heat shield, which attaches to the upper track bar brace. It may be loose and vibrating.

HAHA i found what the noise was, i was underneath taking the power steering gearbox out and thought id take a look and it was a little metal emergency cable mount hitting and rubbing the drive shaft. The stupidest thing but im glad it was easy to fix, Thanks for the replys
