Noise from rear at low speed
 
Head scratchimg going on here in Mem with this noise. Any new ideas. Track arm, sway bar strut etc ??? Noise is at low speed over small bumps.

Soution: Drive faster! :D

One common cause for noise from the rear end is rattling heat shields above the muffler. Check the achieves for details

Could you discribe the noise in greater detail?

-light sheet metal tapping noise?
-heavy chatter over road bumps?

You sure its not your rear end thats making the noises?

Could be a worn tracking arm as they do go out on older boxsters, or a wheel bearing that is compressed a little more when going over a speed bump.

You hear the mouse that is in there running on his wheel

Nah, the mouse would trip over the balance weight and crack its skull on the brake caliper ;)
