So I've got this light rattle sound coming from my rear left wheel when i'm on a wavy road or when I hit bumps with that wheel. Are there any common problems back there that would cause this? It almost sounds like it's the pads but I can't be sure yet.

 

bump!!!! i have the same issue! can anyone help!!!

 

Have you guys looked into your rear axle carrier bushing? I know mine is shot. The driver side rear first started squeaking really bad after a rain storm and now just rattles like the pads are loose in the caliper. You guys should check out that DIY post regarding this same problem. i just ordered the bushings to fix it after wasting money on some new struts which the mechanic swore was the problem

 

If you guys used the search button you wouldn't have wasted this thread....

Folks above are spot on.

Rear Carrier/Knuckle Bushings. Follow the link above for all the info on the topic.

From what I gather when they start to go, they squeak. When they are totally done, you get the rattle/popcorn popping sound going over minor uneven surfaces, especially at low speed.

Luckily they are not too expensive and can be replaced in the garage in a couple hrs.
