Default Rattle, right rear

Has anyone isolated the infamous right rear rattle? I hear it when I go over both light bumps and large bumps. I am bringing the car in on Saturday for exhaust and want to tell my mechanic what to check. I used the SEARCH function , so I checked the trunk and rear seats. I know Ford has a TSB for the rear shocks, but not sure if the shocks are the problem. What is the general consensus on the issue? thanx Guys

I had a rattle on both sides sounded like they were coming from the wheel wells. Sounded like loose nuts rattling around. It turned out to be the control arms The bolts mounting them to the frame were loose allowing them to rattle back and forth when going over bumps.

Wow I didn't know this was a common problem. Took ford 3 days in their body shop to fix it for me. And now it sounds like it might be coming back after a few weeks. [&:]
