Default Driver's Side rattling

In my v6 I've had a rear anti sway bar, axle back muffler, gears and a t lock installed in the past two weeks. I can't say after which install this rattling began to become noticable, but then again I've been at school all year w/o the car so maybe it was doing this before all of those things. Anyways whenever I'm on the highway or go over a bump that's large enough with the rear end I her a rattling, sounds like metal hitting metal, on the driver's side of the car behind me. I can't really tell how far back but I've gotten underneath the car and can't see anything that would be hitting. Anyone have this problem?

Check the sway bar and mufflers.

Sway bar is rock solid and nothing is close to hitting it. The muffler is secure and I've shaken it around a few times and it doesn't hit anything.

Then check for loose brake parts, even a part of the spring might have broken off and stuck inside the coils, happend to my bros 325IS. It made a jingling sound whenever you hit bigger bumps.

I'll check that but it sounds like a more substantial noise. I guess you could call it more of a knocking than rattling, if there was a muffler on the driver's side it sounds like it would be hitting but there isn't. I just can't find what would be a possible cause.

I have the same problem!..Doesnt happen all the time. Only when i put a load on the car going over a speed bump sounds like a lite metal rattling noise coming from the rear. First I thought it was my license plate rattling but thats not it. Could it be some kind of heat shield loosened up?
