Hello guys...i have a 94 civic hatch and lately ive been hearing a lot of rattling noise coming outta the rear passenger side suspension area near the trunk. It sounds a lot like a little bebe is running around in the trunk but when i look i cant find anything. When the road gets bumpy the sound gets louder...when its smooth it goes away....

i was thinking it might be the strut bushings on top or on bottom. another thing i was thinking is that maybe i could be losing my ball bearings inside my suspension?


anyone please help

I would jack up the rear pass side, put it on a jackstand, and then inspect the suspension spring and its top mount for breaks; all control arms for failed bushings (the rubber deteriorates; pretty common); the trailing arm for a failed bushing; loose suspension bolts (not likely but they do happen) and the shock absorber for leaks. With the car on the jackstand, have someone press down on the bumper, while you look for abnormalities.

^ do exactly what he said. You're not going to find out what it is without looking for it. It's called troubleshooting.
