    I got rid of my 'ass rattle' by removing everything in the spare tire compartment.

    Seems to be more in the suspension, axle type area. Thanks, for the suggestion though.

    I would start with the rear sway bar to frame bushings... usually cheapest between 10-20 dollars for the pair. If that doesnt cure it then my best guess is the rear sway bar links

    We had this problem a while back and had to replace the rear sway bar. Good luck, hope its that since its a easy cheap fix.

    I have a slight squeak in the rear too and it seems that a screw has worn its self loose from the rear bumper. I just always forget to get a replacement for it unless i'm driving it. Check them out, you never know it could be something simple.

    Good luck and let us know what you find out.
