Still rattling!!
Ok, the left rear has been rattling and driving me nuts. Some people say its the brake pads, but i looked at it and its not. The inner fender wells are secure. I cant find anything, the only thing i can think of is a bad bushing somewhere or just something going out. it has been doing for 3 months now, but has not gotten worse. So, i really would like some help.

Re: Still rattling!!
Sounds like you maybe in need of new control arm bushings. You can go either the rubber or poly way or aftermarket. Easy to install, lots of improvement after replacing.

Re: Still rattling!!
On my 92: I got a shock that is going out on mine that sounds bad. Also, one of the welds that hold down the hatch motor has broken, causing the rear window to rattle. Spoiler is also loose causing another rattle.
On my 86: One of the rear shocks ripped out the metal surrounding where it was fastened to the body. Had to weld it up and weld in a huge washer.
In other words, it could be a lot of things. Look stuff over really well.

Did you check for loose dust cover on the dics brakes?? Sometimes the spot welds breaks and it gives thar rattle sound over bumps. Check the easy things first.
