05XB_Black

Hello,
New here! My lady friend just purchased and '05 xB, and there is a "rattle" coming from the right side rear when turning left. Sounds like something rolling around, we took all the stuff out of the spare well, and folded the seat down, and still something making the sound. This sounds something similar to a problem I had on an '04 G35, and that turned out to be a bushing in a stabilizer on that car. We didn't remove the spare, but it was tight. I doubt this is anything serious, the vehicle is in extremely good condition, and was well maintained.
Any ideas on this noise would be appreciated!
Thank,
Tom

Check the two nuts on the upper shock bolt. If the top one has come loose, the bottom can rattle around a bit.

Thanks, I will check that out. Good place to start!

Pebble kicked up and landing on the control arm and is stuck and rattling.
