When I am driving I hear a lot of rattling noises when I hit bumps. Sounds like loose screws. Do you guys know where it might come from? Do you guys also get any of it?

 

i noticed that shortly after i bought my S, after a little snooping around found it to be the latch on the drivers side is worn out and sags slightly even when latched in place, it also has a little side to side movement makeing a rattle sound when i drive over bumps.

 

i checked the latches and they seem fine. It kind of sounds like its something from the back.. I hear rattling and I hear like something is loose theres also something back there that when I hit a bump it sounds like its coming loose and then it drops and hits something?...

 

First guess, your spare tire is loose.

 

i took out the spare tire.

 

check your strikers

 

He said he already did that...

 

Check the cat/o2 sensor area.

 

i checked that the cat fits fine. the noise seems like its coming from the trunk and some stuff inside.

 

After I put my exhaust on my car I noticed things starting to rattle behind the roll bars, the vibration from the car makes the piece thats behind the seats and under the top to rattle, almost a buzzing sound, thats what I would check

 

Possible rattles:

Soft top strikers
Interior lights
Soft top pivots
Passenger seat belt
Spare tire nut
Washer under shifter

 

check your soft top. there are a few of those screws always gets loose behind the driver side. you might have to take off the center console...

 

im gonna check em out soon. Thanks for the help guys! keep em coming if you guys have more.

 

My money is on the spare tire nut.

 

I have removed the spare tire. Im really curious as to what the rear noise is it sounds like something comes lose and goes back in place.

 

well i found what the thumping noise was. Its the rear window hitting that big plastic seat behind the seats. I guess its loose... :/

 

that is a roll bar not a seat. haha

 

theres the seats and then some plastic piece behind the seat that kind of takes the same shape of the seat. know what i mean?

 

And the vague description of the year award goes to...

 

its the roll bar cover... jeez great description...

 

well the thumping noise that sounded like something came off lose was the the rear springs were lose. Apparently the previous owner didn't tighten them.

 

so did this rattle start after you 'drifted' in to the curb, or did you smash it in to the curb to try and get rid of the rattle?

 

niceee oneee. apparently your the retard who follows people around on threads or are you techno tonis's little bitch?

 

^^^maybe next time you should smash your face on the curb...

 

you guys are so retarded. does it make you feel good when you start picking on someone over the internet? do you feel really special now?
