hey guys, question about where this rattling in the inside rear of my car is coming from. it sounds like it is coming from- where the top meets the body if that makes sense. i took out the spare tire and took out the plastic panel that covers the spare. so that wasnt the problem. the noise gets really loud when i hit rpm range 3k to 5k in every gear.
please help me

 

Check the plastic of the rear deck, there are 4 pieces left, right, middle, and the vertical one, they can be noisy

^ thanks but i took all of that out already and it is still doing it

 

what about the trunk springs, fuel tank access cover (one 3 screws hold it in place, fuel take pipes (that could be a real issue if that's where it's coming from.
might be the roll hoops, or the seat belt mounts

i'm trying to think of what else could rattle if it wasn't tight. i doubt it but what about something loose on the exhaust?

 

it is def coming from inside the car. tank pipes seem sturdy. the tank cover is a possiblility but it seems like it is coming from higher up than there. im stumped thanks for the help tho

 

sonic resonance can be a real pita. it could amplify a problem and make it hard to determine the source.

I would go to Harbor Freight (if you have a local one) or on-line and order a mechanics stethoscope. when they are on sale there are 2.00 otherwise they are 5-6


have someone on the gas, and use the scope to pinpoint the problem

Just a thought...................................

 

a stethescope cud work. i will try that. thanx

 

Hey you still want to trade intakes? Call me!

 

Have someone in the car with you lean around and give a good listen....best suggestion i have bro!

 

^ thanks bro, i did that and let my dad drive. i can hear where it is coming from but cant pinpoint exactly where. the car is too damn small to fit back there
