rattle sound

did anyone experience the rattle in the right trunk area?
I checked all the seat belts, rear seats, but i can't find out what is going on.

I have a rattle on the right side, specifically when I'm making left turns and leaning on that side. I *think it's the rear sway bar I put in. Do you have an aftermarket sway bar and is it worse when you turn left?

I haven't any aftermarket mod yet. The sound just come out randomly, sometime when I roll on speed bumps, or bumpy road.

Could be rear hatch. I have another loud rattle from sunroof when it is open as well. I've read rear suspension is sometimes the cause (sway bar end links I think...?).

Will be checking more thoroughly later when I start removing panels to install my backup cam. See if you can get someone to sit in the back while you drive and fold the seat down, press against panels, etc.
is it easy to install back-up cam? are you going to link the cam with Nav?

My dad has been experiencing a "clunk" sound from the rear when he hits certain bumps and he does has an aftermarket sway bar - is this the norm? I have a sway bar on order and was just wondering?

I never could figure it out, but I'm fairly certain it's the aftermarket sway bar making contact with the body somewhere when it's flexed. I've gotten used to it.. Let me know if you figure anything out.

I am going to be ordering a new set of sway bar bushings for my 22mm rear sway bar. I have got to figure it out. It will drive me crazy if I don't.

Replaced my sway bar bushings today, took the right rear strut out to make sure there was nothing wrong with it and I still have this rattle! It is driving me absolutely crazy.
