Post Rear suspension rattle

Im starting to notice a slight rattle coming from the right rear of my car. Driving on smooth pavement it is fine but going over very small bumps I can hear a rattle on the right side. It kind of sounds like an exhaust shield rattle but I know it is not that. It is a very light sound. Not something heavy like a CV or loose suspension.

I lifted the right side and found nothing loose. Does anyone know of a method that I can use to check for the rattle while the car is jacked up? Its kinda tough when you don't have the weight of the car to help reproduce driving conditions.

Thanks

I had a rattle much like that on my NA. Went nuts trying to find it. It disappeared when I replaced the rear shocks with Koni's. Upon inspection the right rear shock upper shield was hitting the lower shock body. Next time you're underneath grab the top of the shock and give it a yank!
