    Okay, I've had a rattle under my car for a while.
    When going over bumps/dirt roads/bad roads, with the window down I can notice a rattle once in a while..It really annoys me and I don't know what it is.
    It sounds like its coming from the back

    Exhaust isn't rattling (me shaking it doesnt make a noise)
    I've replaced the Diff, and had the panhard rod replaced with nolathane bushes

    Any suggestions?
    Our 2006 XR6 also does it aswell. :\

    Pretty sure it's not... Im sure its coming from underneath, and I can only see it when the windows open.. I can't hear it in car..

    check the rear sway bar link bushes.
    if they are stuffed, then the metal washers can rattle over bumps

    I had a rattle under my vy ute from the back underneath and turned out it was a little rubber on top of the shock mount. And it was the little washers that hold the rubber in place.

    Most of the front bushes have been replaced

    So rear bushes are the likely problem? nothing to do with the brakes? - I've got a weird idea that it's the brakes.. Ahwell.
