Small rattle

Post by Thesubielover »

Ive noticed a small rattle noise coming from under the car when I drive with my window down. I dont think it is the exhaust because it is stock and doesnt shake when I try to move it. I only happens going over certain bumps. Never notice it on smooth road. Other then that its great. The allignment is perfect.

Is it in front or back?

If you just had Aliment I would look at the sway bar end links. Mine didn't look to bad but I replaced them because I replaced every thing else and that fixed mine.
I was just rembering that I also one other time one of my front calipers had worn sliders and would rattle when I hit a pot hole.

Sounds like a fairly easy fix, I'll take it in this week to have them sort it out and tell me what the issue is.

So had the rattle checked out and all of the above options werent the issue. I guess the guy said since it really only happens when the window is rolled down to try and tighten the power window assembly. Any thoughts?
