and check for a rusted-out spare-tire well.

while you're in there, examine the area right around the jack. there's some foam that acts like a sponge for water.

and since we're talking about the rear of the car, i think it's a good idea to pop out the back seats. it takes seconds -- they remove one at a time just by lifting them up. this will expose lots of possible corrosion.

best of luck & tell us what you discover.
