rattle noise coming from passenger rear

I have a rattle sound coming from the rear of the vehicle on the passenger side. I have stripped the rear interior and trunk because it sounded like at first an interior rattle. Tonight I had a friend sit in the back with my interior stripped and he said its definately coming from the exterior and underneath. We pull the wheel off, retightened the shock, and spring bucket. We pulled the rotor off to see if the brake shoes were clanking but that wasn't it. We wiggled my exhaust to see if it hit anything, nothing.


This light rattle I notice at speeds about 20-25mph driving around my neighborhood on imperfect roads. It happens when rolling. Not from a start or coming to a stop. If I'm moving faster you don't hear it (or at least I don't notice it anymore). I don't think it's the axle clicking problem cause the sound is a sound I wouldn't categorize as clicking. I also have speed humps in my neighborhood and when the rear wheels hit the ramp up it kinda clunks and when the rear hits the bottom of the ramp down it clunks again like something down there has some play.

The only thing we can possibly think of is that the play in the axle moving in and out kinda replicates that noise??

Any ideas?

I also am having this problem. And I just searched around looking for an answer.. and I found...

Under the car where the suspension is there are little rodes which use ball and socket joints. These are connected to the sway bars underneath.

What happens is this ball and socket joint loosens up inside and causes this rattle noise.

So I'm going to check that and you should as well.. Let me know if you figure out your problem!

BUMP.....

Can anyone confirm this noise was the end links on swaybars?
I have this clunk/rattle noise too exactly as described, just no time to check and/or replace those.

Anyone?.............

^ Same with my Cusco's, but it was my pillowball mounts which I changed out awhile ago to rubber bushing type and made that rattle go away.

I did find time this week-end to investigate mine. End links are fine, no loose play. What I did find tho, was one of my dampeners had blew. Oil residual all over it and remnants of limit bushing. Installed my stock dampeners, still lowered as same and no more rattling.
My situation probably rare, but that's where/why mine had rattling noise.
