rattle in left rear side It happens going over potholes and the reflector markers in the road. I retorqed the lower control arm and used red threadlocker. It still rattled so then I thought it must be the exhaust heat shield. So I removed it and still rattled. I checked the shock bolts, panhard bar, tq arm and still rattles. The sound is a tin like metallic sound. Not a big bang noise. It only happens on the left side.

Try putting the car on a lift, load the rear suspension - then hit the bottom of the tires first, then everything else in sight with a rubber mallet to try and duplicate the sound. Mine "clunks" from the left rear going over small bumps, still looking for it.
