Rattling noise from rear
 

I have a MY05 WRX and have recently noticed a rattling noise when going over bumps etc.

It is coming from the boot area and I have nothing in there that appears to be loose. I am concerned that its making funny noises already, as my car has only covered 4500 miles!!

Any ideas what it might be?

Thanks

have you checked the spare wheel well?

There is a rear suspension knock problem that is common on the new-ages. This involves the top mounts / struts in that an in-perfect fit allows play and results in the rattle. I would of thought your's would have the revised top mounts already fitted though.

My car, a 2001, makes the occassional rattle / knock type noise from the back over the odd bump. I haven't been able to find anything loose in the boot etc that would cause it either. It's a relatively rare occurance on mine though and not something I worry about. I know of a fair few other new-age owners who have reported similar occassional noises like this from the back.

How often does yours do it?
