Default Getting Rid of all those rattles

Well ever since I had my konis and GC coilovers and S/T swaybars and strut tower bars put on my car it has developed a case of the rattles. Most of the rattles are coming from my hatch area on my crx and havent the smallest idea on how to make it stop any tips or thoughts are welcome. Thnx all later

BUMP I would also like to know.

Oh, and for the hatch itself rattling you can wrap a bunch of tape around the hook part of the latch. Worked pretty good for me.

Or readjust the bumpstops and latches.

dynomat under the rear pieces that cover the wheel wells, what you hear rattling is the plastic rubbing on the metal, dynomat will make the rattles go away and also if you have a system keeps the sound inside the car =P. I'll be doing my door panels, and headliner soon.

Dunno about the USDM crx's but on the UK ones there is a metal plate under the boot lock hook on the boot itself.
Remove the two screws then remove that. End of the rattling.

Also treat your bushes with some rubber / silicone lubricant.

If you have ST rear sway bar chance are your exhaust is rubbing it and making an annoying rattle. That is the case on my car. I wish there was some kind of heat resistant stuff I could wrap around my sway bar where it touches the exhaust but nothing seems to work.

That don't always work, I have heard of taping up the hatch latch or actually putting a bag in the part where it closes.

Where at ? On the hatch window ? The thing that makes the most noise on the crx is that hatch, so that won't really work.

put foam weather striping in between your hatch and the body of the car, right bescide the rubber weather seal where the hatch meets the body.
