Rattle in the rear '02 S80 T6 S80

The smallest road imperfections will produce a rattle heard loudest in the rear. Sounds like something is loose and hitting something. Nothing loose in the exhaust system and all bushings "look good". It could be driver's side specific. Is there a component that is a known "rattle" point in the experience of this august and loyal (but long-suffering) group?

Thanks for listening........

    Don't forget to look in the spare tire well.

      Ah ha...good point. Wish all of our repairs were this simple...
      Never over-look the obvious!

    Could be a busted shock mount or swarbar, if your car has one...specifically the swaybar endlinks. Even if they look okay, they may not be. If your car has a rear swaybar, try grabbing the endlinks from each side and see if you can budge them by pulling and pushing on them with all of your might. They should not move.
