Anybody? any ideas?
The sound is coming from rear left. It's like metallic sound and you can hear it more when car is warmed up.

Re: Rear left rattle
It could be anything, you haven't given anywhere near enough information to be able to help.
Is it happening when the car is stood still and engine running? Or when driving? If so at what speed? When driven over bumps? A rotational noise in time with the wheel speed? During braking?
The more info you give the easier it will be for someone to help, but "The sound is coming from rear left. It's like metallic sound and you can hear it more when car is warmed up".... could be absolutely anything.

Re: Rear left rattle
Mostly in low speed like 10-60km/h. But not hearing it in high speed because exhaust noise. Also when I loose the gas pedal the sound goes off
Re: Rear left rattle
Have you had a look at the manifold heat shield?
Re: Rear left rattle
There is no heat shield.

The noise is more like grinding noise
Re: Rear left rattle
Dust shield behing the brake disc, mine rotted away to nothing and flapped about.

There was some side movement on wheel so I have to change the bearing first. Hopefully the sound stops.

Re: Rear left rattle
Are you just changing one side? Best to get them both done at same time.
Re: Rear left rattle
I was thinking to do that but they didn't have another bearing and they say it takes 2 weeks to get one. So need to replace just one now...
Re: Rear left rattle
If it aint broke don't fix it.
I despair at the number of times people get sucked into replacing perfectly servicable parts. There are exceptions of course particularly with suspension parts which I agree with replacing in sets.
