Rattling noise from back on my Camry 97

[cloudsearch]

Hi all,
I recently heard some rattling noise from back the car. I took it to the body shop and they say it is a common problem for old Camry(?) and they suggest I either can ignore it or have the struct replaced, but no guarantee this will eliminate the sound. Do you guys have similar experiences and is it a big problem?
Also, I am to change 2 rear tires and tire discount.com has the $100 promotion until 20th. So I just pick the size 195/70/14R all-season? Any other concerns needed? I am not sure if Wal-mart's tire service (mount & balance) will help me with the new tires.
Thanks for the time~~

the sound is prolly either from the strut mount or the endlinks. figure out which first before u just start buying parts that some yahoo at a shop told ya to get. a good mechanic will find a solution to your problem, not a solution that might fix the problem.

Thank you. Just I wonder if this is a serious problem that I should take action fast. If not I think I wil ignore this as long as the sound does not become louder.

well its not a dire thing if it is either of thoes but it should be replaced nonetheless

I see, thanks. So, what about the tire question?
