My 2012 Mustang runs great , but it has a rattle in the rear . Any little bump and I get a rattle . I mean any little bump.

Probably a loose heat shield around exhaust. If possible remove screws and use washers to reattach or a shop can do it in short order.

While the car’s up on the rack looking for heat shields, check for loose pipes or ones knocked out of place.
