So I just got done replacing my rear shock mounts in hopes that the rattle coming from the rear of my car would stop. well to my disappointment it didn't Ive gotten under the car and shaken and wiggled all the arms and nothing seems loose visually I don't see and blown bushings. There seems to be some baffling blown out in the muffler but its more of a maraca sound. any ideas?

The sound Im hearing is like I'm dragging tin cans behind my car.

From what I've read here a lot of people have solved this problem by lookin at the brakes, specifically the "anti-rattle clips" on the calipers.

Search away!

That makes perfect sense because Ive noticed if I get on the brakes the noise stops.
