[s-cars] Rattling noise coming from the right rear wheel area

[Kevin Campbell]

Thanks for all the suggestions.  It turned out to be a broken rear strut
mount.  I've been waiting almost two weeks for the parts to come in at
the stealer.  The good thing is that the whole job, parts and labor, is
only setting me back $220 (of course I'm having the work done at an indy
shop).

Anywho, the "rumbling" I'm hearing sounds to me like a loose upper strut

bump stop (hopefully there is such a thing).  Any S'ers ever experienced

this problem?  Mine seems to be getting more noisy and frequent as the 
days go by. 





It may be a long shot but I had a loose steering rack on the passenger
side. Grab the steering rack check the welds as well, and yank on it to
see if it moves on both ends. Mine was a loose bolt on the passenger
side.
