Issue: Metal Scraping sound
My 97 Accord started making a metal scraping sound which seems to be coming from the undercarriage of the car. I'm positive there is nothing actually scraping on the ground so I'm puzzled to what it could be. The sound only shows up now and then, usually at low speeds when I'm not accelerating or braking. Any ideas of what it could be and how to fix it?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Issue: Metal Scraping sound
well i wouldnt call it your normal vibrating noise...its more like the noise when a knife is being sharpened, if that makes any sense?

I would check the cat cover. Those are famous for that. Is the car driving any different since you started hearing that noise? Just checking to make sure it is not a steering or suspension component is completely done and you are hearing it grinding.

see i was thinking it might be my suspension too (I have ksport coilovers), but the car handles absolutely perfect so im thinking whatever it is is just pretty minor, but its still an awful noise. Ill check the cat cover thanks
