Metal clatter sound from right rear wheel/bed area.

[amati5]

I can only hear it when the sound bounces back from a near wall or a line of parked cars on my right. I have the spring helpers installed but they are tight and pushing up/down the bed doesn't replicate the sound. I had this sound from my 300zx too but never found out what it was. Any idea?

thanks

I also hear a light rattle as I'm driving next to a long solid fence and have noticed that it's more intence comming from the passenger side. I think I'll have my wife hang on to the frame as I drive up and down the interstate and see if she can pin-point the culprit. I suspect the exhaust heat shield.

Oh hell yeah, wives love doing that. Just make sure she has a tight grip on that heat shield. Ya don't want her falling off onto the interstate and causing an accident.
