I started to notice that the right rear speaker sounds like something is loose when music hits a low frequency. It sounds like there is some sort of distortion but it clearly sounds like something is loose. When i hit the speaker with a small piece of wood from the button there is no vibration i can detect. Is the speaker just bad? What could be causing the rattling vibration noise?

    Most probably dirt/grit has dropped down from the parcel shelf and found its way between the speaker magnet and the voice coil. I had a similar problem some years ago and cleaned out the dirt by a careful removal and replace operation. Let me know if you want the fix sent by email - I think I still have the details on file somewhere. Cheers, phil.

          Your email is already on file if someone uses the little envelope next to your username.

          I had a door speaker do that and found that there was a crack in the cone. Easy to spot with the cover off and the radio on. And, yes, a bang on the speaker fixed it for a while.

          The best place to get speakers is in a junk yard. Just push lightly on the cone to make sure it is not also cracked. The speakers are right/left and cannot be easily swapped due to the wires being different.
