Could be a few things.... -exhaust hitting the diff -bushes worn out -shocks bottoming out I'll add more when I can think of them, but check those first

x3 on those suggestions. My first VL had a warped exhaust that vibrated on the panhard at idle, VERY annoying.

If it rattles at idle, I'd put my house on it being exhaust rattling on something, diff or floor.

If it rattles on idle it won't be the bushes or shocks. Check the exhaust and any heat shields where they are close to the body or other parts such as the diff or panhard rod
