Hi guys my xk8 has an annoying rattle emanating around the rh rear somewhere near the rear wheel. My suspension is very hard on this car. Have checked mufflers, all suspension & attach points. Cannot find anything loose . Any ideas its a 2003 model

Check the handbrake cable slack. Adjust if loose.

The top shock mount has a large washer that can bang on the top of the top hat when the shock mounting foam disappears and the shock is in extension. It all happens up in the cavity where you can't see it.
On a smooth road with an occasional pothole, It is more of a banging than a rattle, however. On a rougher road I could see where it could "rattle".
