trunk lid??

actually check the locking mechanism in the trunk,

also, check your jack stand (on left behind carpet)

you might want to check the muffler shield.

Thanks,. Ill check those today.

definitely check the trunk locking hardware, the s14 trunk lock design is horrible

On my S14, my trunk lid rattles like crazy and same with the lock mech. I am gonna take it to a body shop and get it re aligned or somethin.

just wrap the bottom part of the lock in duct tape that stopped mine from rattling

Have ya'll check the rubber bumpers? It should fix it. The outer bumpers, the big one like (o), the inner circle bumper should not be flushed with the outer. I thought it was the locking mechanism before, but new bumpers fixed it.

It's most likely the trunk helper springs. Those two horizontal overlapping black bars at the cab-most part of your trunk. Try stuffing a piece of styrofoam between them, that should fix it.

check your rear deck lid that houses your speakers too. Mine used to rattle like a bitch and there wasnt anything loose really on it but it still rattled...so i stuffed a few pieces of cordboard between it and it fixed it
