Default Mazda CX-7 rattle in rear every time I hit a bump

2 weeks ago i replaced both rear wheel hubs now every time I hit a bump i hear a rattle on the drives side rear and it sounds like washers rattling, i replaced both the sway bar links thinking it was that! Nope still there. Just a note i had to take the back end apart, does anyone have a clue what it could be before i take it all apart again. Thanks Kurth

Find a series of bumps where you can hear the noise. Drive over them while holding some brake pressure. If the rattle diminishes or is gone all together, take a look at your brake pad mounts/slides. Also take a look at all your heat shields back there.

Other than that, re-torque all the bolts you pulled out the first time, which I'm sure you've already triple checked.

Found a empty pop can rolling around in a spare tire well once as a rattle complaint, just saying.

Thanks sparky
Same thing with brakes, the only thing i can think of is that when i took out the bolts i put anti seize on the threads and not the bolt itself and maybe the metal spacer in the bushings are squeaking, tomorrow I'm going to pull it apart and see.

Found the stupid rattle it was the lever for the parking brake, when i hooked up the cable before putting the shoe back in i pulled the cable and had to put the pin back in and i must have not gotten it back in the hole because it was loose. Now its good.

Had to be simple. Just a matter of hunting it down
