Rear Rattle

Rear Rattle
I thought this noise was some stuff I had in the trunk, but I took everything out of it today and the "clunk" is still there.
I put the rear seats down so I could try to locate it better.... best description I can give is that it sounds like a hollow wooden box is loose inside the driver's side rear quarter panel. Makes a clunking noise when going over a bump that "jolts" the car a little bit. Something is definitely loose and hitting something else. I'm wondering if it is the exhaust hanger issue, or maybe the fuel filler pipe banging into something.
I've got an appointment to take it into the dealer, but obviously would rather fix it myself if it's quick & painless.

Kind of disappointed in Ford on this since there is obviously an issue with them wearing out prematurely.... there are numerous posts on this problem stating that the links wear out in <20,000 miles in most cases.
It will most likely result in them wearing out again.... just about the time my warranty will have expired.

Well I talked to the dealer and they said the replacement part # was the same, so it looks like there was no change.
