Rattle on rear passenger side I have a rattle in the rear passenger that is REALLY noticable at slow speeds, not apparanet on the interstate. It's really bad say, on a gravel road, itsounds like something is about to fall off. I replaced the LCA's, panhard bar, shocks, lugnuts are tight, new brakes...noise never changed or stop. Anyone have any ideas??? The only things i can think of it being are springs, sway bar, or torque arm. The only good thing is i'm gonna have dam near every suspension bolt on by the time it's done.

Are you sure it's outside the car? Check your spare tire and jack, those could be loose. Also, take a look at your rear seat belts, the latches might be hitting the rear seat latch lever. Also, if you did any wiring, as for speakers and subwoofers, the wiring could be rattling in the space behind the passenger speaker (sail panel or b-pillar?) and the inner fender.

It's bad enough to where you can feel it in the front passenger seat, that's going to eliminate the wires and seat belts, but i'll go check the spare tire equipment. thanks for you input

Hmmm, feel it in the front seat....that would definately eliminate the wires and belts. What kind of rattle is it? Is it a ticky rattle or a banging rattle? If you think it's outside, take a look at your exhaust, you may have a broken hanger.

Sway bar is on, Pulled both springs and isolaters look good, and replaced exhaust bracket, and noise has not changed. I think I'm going to try and get a second opinion....
