weird noise from rear

**slpdablueZ28** · 11-18-2008, 02:13 PM

ive been having this weird rattling noise coming from the back of my car every once in a while. it only happens when im stopped at a light or sign. doesnt happen all the time just once every blue moon. sounds like something is rattling around, when i take my foot off the brake so it starts rolling the noise stops. itll just come out of nowhere do it for a couple seconds and not happen again for another couple of weeks. any ideas?

yeah, go look for something loose. lol really tho, finding a rattle is a bitch and near impossible to diagnose over the internet on a forum. go snoop around back there

yeah thought it might be coming from the exhaust, but everything seems to be bolted down

check your spare tire mounts, mine loosen up sometimes and causes a random rattle

If you can make it happen again have a friend drive you around while in the back seat and see if you can narrow down where it is coming from a little more.

it sounds like its coming from the trunk, not like under or outside the car

i would check the little metal bracket that sits on top of your diff cover.
