Rattle comming from rear end
 

Hi all,

I'm hoping that someone will be able to give me a couple of pointers to the source of a rattle i have coming from the rear left of my 323 saloon.

i have replaced the rear sway bar links and checked the rear top mounts but the rattle still exists.

it is definitely suspension related. any ideas??????

Could be your rear trailing arm bushing or subframe bushing.

Rear shock mounts are the most common. Re-double check them and Yuricks comment.

Eliminate the brake pads as a source by testing the rattle while braking. Check the exhaust hangers.

another rear shock mount suggest by jeron, what a supprise. when does it make this noise around turns over bumps leaving a stop, coming to a stop try to pinpoint when it is happening.
