    Happening on my Mazda5... Already replaced the brake master cylinder and read/did all of the other obvious things (new pads, bled-ALOT)... Still same issue and have also read where folks replaced their brake boosters and still have the issue. Do not want to keep throwing parts at, and...

    Rear shock rattling noise

    I replaced my shocks/struts (Sensen struts) but still have that same rattling sound the OP has... and I still can't find it... Everything feels/looks tight when off the ground (looking at suspension bushings, etc).
