Default any ideas?

When I drive on bumpy roads something rattles under my car. It seems to be coming from the right rear. Anybody have any idea on what it could be?

First thing I would check would be your exhaust pipes.

Then check rear shocks, same thing happened on our 2000 GT.

dosent matter if your exhaust is loose i can still hit something. Check to see if you have enough clearence around the pipes and muffs. My muffler hits the under side of my car when i hit a hard bumb, just no time to get under there and fix it.
