Rear Driver's Side Rattle Located For anyone having that irritating "rocks in a can" noise coming from the rear driver's side of the car, check your Panhard Bar. I had the one that had the steel ball ends and found out they were causing the metal to metal irritating noise. Took off the bar, drove it, and the noise was totally GONE! Going to order a new Panhard Bar with the Poly bushings on both ends. Hope this helps out some of you with the same noise.

I'll take my chances with the Poly bushings. Not going to put up with that rattling noise. Either way, I know where the damn noise was coming from and can fix the issue.

Yeh, I had to know for sure if that was the problem. It wasn't too far; I have terrible roads in my area, but no rattles with the bar off, so I at least isolated the rattle. I'll be picking up a new PHB tomorrow morning.

Let me know what you guys find on your cars. I took out that PHB, cleaned it, repacked it with new grease and re-installed it. It was beautiful for about 30 miles of driving and then the damn noise came rattling back. Going to order a new bar/bolts tomorrow with the poly bushings instead of the steel bushing ends. Oh, and yes, I adjusted the bar after the full weight of the car was on it.

Three weeks gone by and no more rattles from my rear driver's side. After installing my "Poly" Pan Hard Bar, all is quiet. People may not like using Poly bushings, but I'll take it over that annoying rattling any day of the week. If I was racing the car like some people choose to do, that would be a different story.
