Rattling sound coming from rear end when hitting bumps

I suggest it is not the strut cover. The amount of deflection required to make a noise you could hear would be considerable. Can you identify whether it is a left or right rear wheel? How many miles on the car? that might help identify which part may be worn and ready for replacement. does it do it with passengers in the car? How big a noise? How big a bump is required? etc.

I dont have any rubbing, my fenders are rolled and pulled. My wheel bearing, i have no idea. I would assume its fine since i dont feel or hear any vibration. I cant hear it when i shift hard because my exhaust is way louder than the noise.

I looked at the sawy bar last night and it looks to be centered. Actually doesnt look like it can move at all as the bends are immediately after the bushings. The tools are a thought but its definately coming from outside the car. Is the pump behind the rear bumper by the wheel well?

Apparently all my yanking and wiggling solved my problem. Drove the car yesterday and didnt hear the noise anymore. Oddly enough i think it may have been the strut cover because I was pulling it down and messing with it a little bit when i was under there. Thats the only thing i can think it was.

Hmm, I have a similar bump rattle, on Eibach Prokits with the stock Bilsteins. Also have the Whiteline sway bars and end links.
I'll start by putting the tools in the back seat and see if that stops it. =]
