Rear Rattling, Must read! Simple problem, big headach.

So I had this rattling from the right rear when I would go over bumps. It was driving me nuts! I could swear it was metal on metal. I searched everywhere. Long story short, today I found it. A couple rocks stuck in a very hard to see spot. Pictures tell all. One was stuck and the other was floating free. These were in there for at least two weeks. I have had this happen in other cars too. Just a heads up for future ref.

Inside the control arm? where the shocks attach?

Exactly, in front of it, tire side. Took some creative tools to get them out.

I even hit the under side with a rubber mallet and it didn't make a noise, it had to move the arm for it to rattle. The shape of the arm makes the sound echo and you would swear it was metal on metal. I had three people tell me it was possibly three things after I drove them around.

I have found in other cars rocks end up in the weirdest spots, sometimes between the rear brake dust shield. worth taking a good look with a flashlight and mirror.

If its something that simple I'll be happy but still frustrated it took me and the dealer so long and so much headache. Cause after how I was treated, i'll never go back to them.

I completely understand I was petrified that I might have to take mine into my dealer. They are complete noobs. I asked them to look up my pdim issue on the TIS2 site and they never heard of it? I will probably never go there again for other issues too.
