Rattling thread PT2
I have this rattling problem in my car. It happens at no specific time or anything. I could be sitting at a light in neutral and it will come and go, or it happens while i'm driving. Its honestly driving me insane. Especially when I'm at a light and people are wondering what the hell that noise is!
Most people say its the heatsheild on the cat... I took mine off, I thought it was my exhaust piping... i just got that redone because mine was all messed up. I dont have an exhaust manifold heat sheild, so thats not it. Its pretty damn annoying.
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate a solution.
Edit: I made this thread because I was getting no answers posting on someone elses thread.

Get underneath your car and hit your catalytic converter and see if you can hear loose particles.
If you can then replace your cat.</TD></TR></TABLE>
I looked at the cat, its now gutted out.. still... RATTLING!

my friend had the same problem. It turned out that the 2 bolts that connects your cat to the header was messed up.. cauesing rattling... also get the new spring for the bolts

Re: (eL)
jack the car up
start it up
get underneath it
wait for the rattle
isolate it
voila...
seriously haha, my car made a rattle, while i was at the muffler shop, and the guy took some sort of stethoscope(sp?) to it, and there was a pebble in the cat.
