    Rattle from back end

    It's been going on for a little while now. Sometimes when i pull to a stop at a light or whatever, i will hear a rattle come from the back end. every time i tap the throttle is gets louder, Car doesn't have to be in gear for me to hear this sound. When i put it in gear and drive off the sound usually goes away after second gear. I also hear a clunking sound (some what similar to the other rattle) when i go around corners too fast or over bumps sometime. I just replaced my RSM with e46 ones so i know for a fact thats not the problem. The sound seems to be coming from the drivers side. My Diff Bearing is going too so could it be a result of that?

    Common sense would dictate that if you hear a rattle while stopped at a light, it is NOT related to your diff. Clutch throw-out bearing perhaps?

      If it was the clutch throw-out bearing would i hear it coming from the back end of my car though?

        Dude, nothing in the back end of your car is moving when you're at a stoplight and you tap the throttle LOL I'm stumped :D

          wouldn't the clutch throw-out bearing make sounds all the time then? Cause it happens like once every 2 or so weeks

              I tried to hit it around with my hand to see if it bumped into anything but i didn't hear anything.
