Hey guys. I just bought back my old celica and have been busy working on it. The exhaust was so loud on this beast that I couldn't hear the rattle until I just replaced my Hi-flo cat with a new quieter and deeper sounding one. Now I can here myself think.

This is the problem - I have a rattle coming from the rear passenger side. I thought it was the hatch - it is not. It is not anywhere in the trunk area. I've narrowed it down to somewhere between the b-pillar and below the rear quarter window. Any thoughts? It is driving me NUTS. I can only here it when I hit a bump. It sounds like the hatch is shaking. But it is not the hatch.

I hope 1 of you knows exactly what it is. thanks.

Check the parking brake assembly. Inside the drum the shoes are held in place by hold-down springs. The springs are compressed by being mounted on pins. If the straight pin broke, or the curved pin straightened, the shoe is free to move and rattle against the backing plate.
