im at work and dont have time to do long search right now, i really need to know what all can make the rear end rattle, shake, feel like something loose ? the rear drivers side wheel n tire do have a little side to side movement. ANY help is GREATLY appreciated guys
 
Any of the bushing being bad, the wheel bearings, the axels, the wheel itself, basically any component, the drive shaft could even cause it.
 
If the ass end feels like its moving check the wheel bearings, I drove my 94 till it was riding metal on the shaft before it felt real bad.

Unload the wheels and check for play up/down right/left play should be equal in all directions unlike a bushing. Also take a look at the back of the spindle where the drive shafts enter for wear/ metal shavings.
 
most likely the shock mounts if it seems to be a rattle when you hit the bumps.

Also a common rattle is the small tweeter if you have the JBL system. The mounting tabs and break causing the speaker to rattle when hitting bumps.

These are two of the most common rear end rattle noises.
