I had the squeak on my mk2 dude, guess what? its the plate that splits the upper and the lower springs. I just sprayed a load of WD40 every so often and it shut it up  :smiley:

A rattle from the rear will be the top mounts, mine was the same also worth checking your exhaust / axle beam clearance.

thanks guys  :smiley:

top mounts have been replaced and the exhaust / axle beam clearance its ok
cant be any trim as the car is stripped  :smiley:
will get car up on ramps today and have a good look under her..  failing that will get suspension out, check all nuts and bolts are ok and will try oil on the springs

Were the new rear top mounts genuine or aftermarket.

I had issue with the cheaper ones would start rattling after a week or so, try genuine ones they are not that more expensive.
