So i have read like 100 different post about rear rattles!

Right now more WHOLE rear interor is out of the car.

so for sure i know its not the plastic.

It is coming from the passenger side strut tower. Sounds like metal on metal. Like a clicking.

So can someone point me in the right direction?

so same its the suspension, rear axle, or the welds that have came loose?

thanks

Take it to a dealer and have them look at it. I had a clunking in the rear of my car and they had to do some service to the rear axles. If it happens when you accelerate or slow down quickly, right at the point when the car gives a little jolt it is probably the rear axles.

Sounds like the struts, have you looked to see? Take a punch and tap it around there to see if you hear the sound.

I have the same thing. It only happeneds when I hit a bump. I'm guessing its something with the spare tire or tool in the back. Maybe I didn't strap something down after the last track event?
