Morning guys

I've developed a rattle when the the car is rolling, especially on the overrun/braking. It's certainly coming from the back end, but is quite a tinny rattle sound.

I'm guessing it's a buggered CV joint, do you agree?

Annoying time for it to happen, we're about to move house so don't currently have a garage or time to sort it, might have to let it rattle for a bit and then just replace all the joints.

Cv joints normally clonk rather than a tinny rattle imo. Main thing that makes that noise from the rear is the fuel tank but that normally happens when driving over bumps, are there any heat sheilds under the back end?

Loose bolts on exhaust tray, fuel pump bracket loose, prop shaft bolt loose, go for the obvious first.
