Default Wow so I got this weird noise from the back which started today

Has anyone every experienced a noise from the rear drivers side? Its like a deep rattle vibration noise. I pulled over to check if I was running on a flat tire from the rear and I wasnt so I just put air on my tires and tightened all my bolts. Sound got louder when I went home from the freeway. Any issue what this could be? I'm running Megan coilovers and im thinking it might be the suspension now.

did you check the screw on bolt of the spare tire? or the wrench in the trunk compartment?

Can you have someone follow you and look while youre rolling? Sounds like something is loose.

Unfortunately this sounds like one of those things you should have it looked at.

I had a rattle coming from the rear a few weeks ago, it is still occurring. Took to dealership, my stock Y pipe is bent very slightly. Doesn't effect the way the exhaust hangs at all, it just makes a rattle. Check and see if you can move either of your mufflers at all.

do you feel the car vibrating? if so you should check your tires, not to long ago my inner side wall developed a big bubble and i felt the same vibrations. only reason that makes me think this is because you said when you added air it got worse.
