My '95 GT convertible 143,000. An annoying rattle from the back, seems more prominent at slower speeds. It's been going on a few years now. Can't find anything loose in the trunk or spare area.
In the front the suspensions squeaky sometimes, especially when the wheel is turned all the way and it's cold.
New struts and sway bar end links installed.

Have the struts and strut mounts been replaced?

Do you still have the jack in its holder on the side of the trunk?
Also is your spare tire could somehow managed to become loose.
The struts have arrows on them that're supposed to point out, so it could be that.

Only my front struts had an arrow. My rear did not. I also had a rattling noise after a 4 wheel alignment the sound is no longer there.
Ordered some rear sway bar bushings to see if that fixes it. Heard it's a common issue and a cheap fix. All struts have been replaced but don't think the mounts were. Rear rattle was there before new struts.
Check the strut mount top nuts in the rear. Mine wouldn't tighten down all the way and was causing a rattling in the rear when I installed new struts and springs so I had to throw a couple washers on underneath to be able to tighten them.

Yep, there's a spacer that's supposed to be there. Would just double check that when doing the sway bushings.
