I'd consider trying to use 91 octane and see if that corrects the "knock" or spray can rattle. That's an extra $2 on your next fill-up. Sometime low quality, or low octane gas can cause a "knock." If you're useing 91, go with a Brand name gas, Chevron, Mobil, Shell, etc. That's my $.02.

Also, when it's rattling, is it relativly random, or pretty uniform, almost machine gun style? Random would tell me it's something loose, and uniform is a rotational knock, like engine knock. I had a very random rattle sound, (under acceleration, and sitting idle) and it turned out to be my AC tensioner got loose, fell off, and was bouncing around my belts and pullies. Fortunatly I didn't have any damage. That's my experiences. I hope that helps.

thanks. well i was just out side and had the car running. it wasnt making the noise at all i gave it gas and no noise its only when im driving. but im goin to try a higher octane i was thinking that on my next fill up. but im thinking it might be the axels. or one of them atleast is there any thing i can do to kind of narrow it down any ideas.. thanks.
