One rattle gone!!!

I have been chasing a horrible rattle in the back of my 98 2DR Blazer for awhile now. I had the window squeak also and greased the latch to take care of that. The rattle sounded like it was coming from the passenger side just behind the front seat, somewhere inside the panels. I took the panels off and thought maybe it was the seat belt retractor(s). That wasn't it. The other day I had someone else drive it so I could sit in the back, the rattle seemed to be coming from inside the rear panel, right at the back corner. While looking around for things it could be, I noticed I could hear something very similar to the rattle when I shut the spare tire carrier. I wiggled the carrier and found the plastic bushings were worn on the pins, causing the rattle! For about $85.00 I replaced the pins and bushings and the rattle is GONE! If anyone has the same problem and wants detailed info on how to replace those, I can post it.
