Default could this be the rattle im dealing with?

I ve been noticing a rattle from the driver rear of my car for some time now. I have replaced:

adj. panhard
new sway bar w/ poly bushings
1LE LCA bushings on both sides
NEW rear axle (Dana S60)
new drive shaft & U joints
new rotors & pads
tires have been balanced
poly TA bushing
all new SS brake lines
KYB AGX shocks

hell new lowering springs too

but why I posted in this section is I noticed when I did the axle swap I must have forgotten the brackets for the E-brake....so now it just rides on the panhard par on the driver side where the rattle is....could this be the rattle?

it only rattles on sudden bumps not slopes if that makes any sense

but does anyone have any pics of the brackets on there factory setup? i did some searching but did find much results

Try zip stripping it down so it won't move...take it for a drive and you'll know for sure. Just an idea for you. You have two brackets connected to the housing cover than one on each side where your LCA's bolt into axles

Here's one picture for you. http://www.keliente.com/gears.htm

thanks for the pic...the outer brackets are what I think I need the most, but whats funny is the guy at the stealership couldnt find them on his computer or on any pic, it really didnt matter because he said he couldnt order the part from GM anymore so it looks like im hitting the junk yard

and thanks for the zip tie idea ill be borrowing some from work today and give it a try

Sorry I couldn't find any good pictures of the outside brackets for you.

This shows the passenger side outer bracket. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2305755/2

Sorry that didn't work ......maybe check all your bolts for tightness and the springs for proper seating.
