I really think the noise is coming from the little extension arm that secures the back door. I removed it and will see if that was what causes the rattle in the back.

lance-n, any success in quieting your rear cargo noise? The early post was pointing at the leaf springs.

for front noises,check the handbrake cable rubbing on the chassis were the left front mud flap would be,if you have this squeeking noise,it sounds as if its coming from the front left footwell but is actually outside!

I traded in my 06 for a new 08 Alpha and I see (hear) that I have the treaded passenger seat noise. The dealer shimmed something and it rattled before I left the lot. I now have the truck in for a leak in a tranny gasket, so we shall see what they come up with this time, I have a bungie cord attached to the head rest and secured to the back seat pull up handle and NO rattle. Please let me know if anybody has been able to cure this thing. Thanks.
