over the few days i've grown a rattle when going over bumps on the nsr corner.
full width speed bumps dont seem to be a problem, but when the surface affects only that rear corner, then it rattles around.

by noise alone, it sounds like something in the exhaust rattling around, but a quick hit and shake shows the exhaust is fine.
the other obvious option is anti-roll bar link as it only appears to be on one corner - although it seems to still be attached.

the rattle sounds like a wire coat hanger rattling around inside the exhaust.
any thoughts on what it could be?

Try shaking the ARB to see if it is a drop link...I had a similar issue.

looks like a weekend job - tried shaking ARB with car on ground, and it all feels ok.

looks like the caliper dirt shield has come loose - the bit of metal that protects the handbrake cable.
sounds like i lost a bolt this morning on the way to work - something clattered around the wheel arch

atleast it's a cheap fix - very skint this month! :S

Check the spare wheel is fastened down properly. I had a very similar sounding rattle. The bolt/screw/thing seemed to be fastened tight but when I hit the tyre it made the same rattle. Its gone now thankfully
