anyone know what that weird sheet steel tank thing is in my rear right speaker well/strut tower? It (or something near it) rattles like all hell and makes that speaker pretty useless.

I believe that is the fuel separator.

Not related to the fuel separator.
The auto seat belt controller is on the driver's side in the back though.

so on the driver's side is the big-ish box which does belts.. on the passenger side is the wiper relay?

great- thanks for all the diagrams- has anyone effectively stopped their wagon from rattling, squeaking, and creaking the way mine does? I'd guess that a couple cans of spray foam, a fortune in dynamat, and a number of hours checking nuts would do it.

that will require a strut bar.

Oh yeah? hmm, well maybe I should cook up some sort of truss system thing which stiffens like a bar, but doesn't prevent me from sleeping in the back of the wagon (which is my impending housing situation, until I find a nice place somewhere)

Mine just requires an allen wrench and a minute to remove.

and it really ends the creaky-squeakyness?

On mine it eliminated most of it for about 30k and you could feel the chassis stiffer in corners. The squeaks I have now are mostly suspension related which I hope replacing it all when I go AWD will eliminate.
