I have had this car for about a week and a half and all of a sudden the exhaust started rattling like crazy. What do I need to do to fix it and what would cause this to happen. Also, whenever I hit a bump or drive down hill there is a grinding noise coming from the passenger side of the car. I took a look underneath and there didn't seem to be anything dragging. Could this be from part of the suspension rubbing against the wheel well. I am pretty damn tired of the noise and won't be able to get under the car til this weekend.

exhaust rattle is probably just the heat shields either on the cat or the exhaust or under body is rusted loose and rattling.

rubbing is hard to say. could be the heat shield rubbing on the rotor. could also be a loose hub ring around the axle joint. gotta take a look before guessing.
