rattle from rear

Hi
Got a bad rattle that started this morning on uneven road surface.
Its is on the rear left.
If i apply the brakes the rattle stops.
I have checked under the rear end but could need find any thing
broken or loose.
If i drive with my foot slightly on the brakes its silent.

Thank you

Hi
It was the caliper retaining spring thingy.
It was missing causing the caliper to move
over bumps.

Thank you
