Rattle over bumps
I seem to have inherited a rattle when going over bumps which I cannot track down.
The noise appears to be on the exterior chassis because I can hear it echo off other vehicles, curbs etc. It appears to be coming from the tranny tunnel and/or passenger side of the vehicle, somewhere between the fenderwell and the front passenger seat.
The noise sounds like a cable which flapping, or maybe some sort of loose shield. Ideas?

Re: Rattle over bumps
Our cars are known to make a lot of noise especialyl once they get a few years old. Mine creacks like crazy over bumps but its pretty much ok otherwise. Some squeakscan be fixed by getting sub frame connectors or other fram stiffening things.

Re: Rattle over bumps
Rattles are hard to diagnose. You may need to get the car on a lift and beat on everything with a rubber mallet to try and duplicate it. A "buzzing rattle" is usually a heat shield, noise from the tunnel could be a loose/broken tranny mount, or even loose torque arm bolts. Good luck with it, I'm still trying to track down a rattle somewhere in my rear suspension.
