Several big guys and myself literally shook the car and noted a nasty noise coming from rear right wheel???

Not gone inside yet, any thoughts that might help. Only raddles when shook from side to side.

Forgot to say. My first thought is a Hub Bearing that has died or is in process of doing so.

I am at my summer place in the Mtns of NC and have left the car in Atlanta. Plenty enough other stuff to do up there.

If it is a true rattle - as opposed to things rubbing, I would be looking at the dust shield. I might also see if something has dropped down the fender (assuming it is like the Midget in that respect)

Or perhaps the damper mounting bolts loose or the link's bushes deteriorated?
