Alright so im not much of a poster but im kinda lazy on this one (yes im lazy ill admit it) i did kind of a half @ss search to no avail but in my 99 hatch ive developed a rattle...almost sounds like a heat shield rattling around but im fairly confident its not that. However its only when i have the AC turned on and when im stationary. Any Ideas? you guys can go ahead and flame me for being lazy and not checking it out i deserve it haha.

lazyness and rattles FTL!

 

Pop the hood and see if you can pinpoint the source of the noise.

 

ah ha found it. So since im borderline slammed my car the lower control arm had been hitting my exhaust piping right before my muffler...which has pretty much loosened all of my already weak piping, which in turn is rattling around all the time now. i guess by turning my AC on the small increase in RPMs made me notice it more
