Hi everyone, I'm a semi-proud owner of a '97 GL that turned 10 just a few weeks ago. It's been in a couple of accidents (including one major one in '99) and it just keeps on going. I'm not sure when it started but I've had a squeaky type of rattle sound coming out of my rear deck for several years now. I can't remember if it was from the first accident or when I used to run a couple of subwoofers in the trunk. The second accident about a year ago really amplified the situation and I cannot find the source of it. It's pretty constant and I'm not running the subs anymore. It did get noticeably better when I got new tires last year, but the accident brought it right back. Has anyone else experience this type of rattle?

Check the sway bar bushings. They may wear out and cause the sway bar to bang into the fuel tank.
