Rattles

I have an 04 4.4 and the thing has some of the most annoying rattles. One comes from the 60% side of the rear folding seat. I believe it rumps against the latch release. The other rattle seems to come from the dash as the suspension does its thing. Does anyone else experience these and is there a recommended fix? The dealer can't figure it out.

Yup I have the same annoying rattles. Can't figure it out; some come from the door, some I think from the trunk area. I also get some "creaky" noises at times when driving. I have no idea what it is. Oh well

The rear creaking in my '04 4.4 is suspension compressing/uncompressing as part of the autoleveling suspension.

I have the same rattle from that 60% side of the rear folding seat as well and I believed it is from the armrest (in the closed position) that is banging on the metal bracket that it rest on. Try folding out the armrest (the armrest usable position, instead of being part of the seatback) and that rattle should dissapear.
