: Rattle in the back wheels

Hello,

I have a 91 NX2000 and when I hit bumps in the road I hear a rattle noise coming from the back wheels.. If someone stands by the back wheel and listens carefully as I drive over a bump you can hear a rattle in the top of what sounds like the brake assembly and this happens on both rear wheels.. I have replaced a strut thinking that was it and nothing. the exhaust is tight.. the rear sway bar seems tight ahhh I just can't figure it out.. any help would be most appretiated.. also where can I find aftermarket clear lenses..

thanks

I've got that coming from my right rear. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. If you figure something out, please let me know. I'll do the same if I have some time to look at it.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? If so, it could be the larger diameter pipe banging the rear sway bar.

Nope all stock... Drives me crazy... It sounds like the spring on the strut or something.. but I've had the wheel off and it's tight as can be..

Then I would be willing to bet that your exhaust hangers are old and worn. You can either replace them, or you can reinforce them with zip ties.
