Question Rattle In The Rear

Ive got a rattle that sounds like its coming from the right rear. I notice it a lot a low to moderate speeds when going over a bump or seam in the road. Ive not done any mods to the suspension. Could it be the shocks? Its driving me NUTS! Any help is appreciated.

I've had a few problems like that w/ my car. All different things. Once the spare n stuff needed tightened, once it was something w/ the hatch lifter or w/e those 2 black shock things are lol. And lately I had a loose hanger that caused the same thing and a friend of mine had the inside of his hatch come lose and had it sealed back. I know that wasn't worded to well but I'm not much on terms for hatch parts

Check the backing plate (brakes) and the swaybar bushing.

Mine was getting annoying, and it was just the spare tire and/or jack (can't remember which) was loose from when I removed it for the track.

Mine was doing the same thing, and I just needed to put some grease on the swaybar bushings and that stopped it. I have the urethane bushings too though.
