I have a 98 Ford Ka2 and recently ive noticed a rattling nosie from the back, it seems to be from the back wheel. i can only hear it when i got on uneven roads, the more uneven the more noise. does anyone have any idea what it could be and if it would be pricey to repair?

It could be a loose shocker mount just needs tightening or it could be a spring mount or seat or even the exhaust pipe monting broken ~~

Vicky A rattling noise from the back is a little vague . it could be a rear wheel bearing that has worn out, a shock mount or shock absorber , it could be a molding on the rear or as most suggest an exhaust mount . if you have a big friend, that can shake and bounce the car you might find your problem that way if not take it to a local gas station and ask them if they can take a look , after all if its brakes or a major drive component you need it sorted out , safety over expense every time right . It may well be something as little as a tool lose in the trunk I was haunted by a golf ball in the glove compartment for a few days once .

This might be a good time for you to practice jacking up that wheel like you were going to change a flat tire. Get the car jack out and place it under the jack point right in front of the rear wheel as shown in your owner's manual. Apply the parking brake and put chocks around the diagonally opposite front wheel to keep the car from rolling while you jack up the rear wheel until it's just barely clear of the ground. Now, temporarily release the parking brake and try to spin the wheel and tire around to see if you hear any noises. Remove the wheel lug nuts and remove the wheel. With a gloved hand, grab ahold of the rear brake caliper and see if you can move it at all. If you can, that's what's making your noise when you go over bumps. Also look at the wheel shock absorber for any obvious damage or oily deposit on the cartridge cylinder. Once the wheel is torqued back on and on the ground again, you could grab ahold of the tail pipe and see if you can make any noises by moving it. You could do a little test to see if it's a loose caliper or other brake related noise by tapping on the brake pedal with your left foot as you go over a real bumpy road that causes the noise. If applying the brakes affects the noise, you've got something loose in one of your rear wheel brake mechanisms. When the car's parked, try jouncing up and down on each rear fender and see if you hear any noises. You can also look under your car to see if all the exhaust components look properly attached etc. Make sure you don't have anything loose stored against the metal bottom of the inside of the trunk that could cause the noise. Finally, check the wheel lug nuts on the wheel you didn't remove when you jacked up the car and make sure they're torqued down properly. You could leave the wheel covers off for a test to see if they could cause the noise too.

complicated one to diagnose over internet. Take a stress with the mechanic and reproduction noise for him to take heed to. could be different noises that they fixed and not the particular one you have been after. Noises could be very complicated to repair, yet each each now and then may be the finest of issues to repair. stable success.

could be loose muffler or a bad shock. absorber. Not to terribly pricey to fix.
