rear right speaker-well tank thing?

Post by gustavohuber »

anyone know what that weird sheet steel tank thing is in my rear right speaker well/strut tower? It (or something near it) rattles like all hell and makes that speaker pretty useless.

I believe that is the fuel separator.

Not related to the fuel separator.

The auto seat belt controller is on the driver's side in the back though.

great- thanks for all the diagrams- has anyone effectively stopped their wagon from rattling, squeaking, and creaking the way mine does? I'd guess that a couple cans of spray foam, a fortune in dynamat, and a number of hours checking nuts would do it.

Oh yeah? hmm, well maybe I should cook up some sort of truss system thing which stiffens like a bar, but doesn't prevent me from sleeping in the back of the wagon (which is my impending housing situation, until I find a nice place somewhere)

Mine just requires an allen wrench and a minute to remove.

On mine it eliminated most of it for about 30k and you could feel the chassis stiffer in corners. The squeaks I have now are mostly suspension related which I hope replacing it all when I go AWD will eliminate.
