Weird Rattle
Giday all I have got this rattle on my 99 Sport and is driving me Nutz!
Firstly New Engine Mounts & Transmission Mount.
I Found the RATTLE!
I got underneath today and got the missus to put it in drive and sit there with the brake on .. Rattle .. Rattle I looked the entire exhaust pipe over and could not see it touching any where? It seemed to be coming from the cross member and or passenger floor?
I couldn't find anything? I lay there for ages scratching my head .. Rattle .. Rattle?
For some reason I put my hand on the transfer case and the Rattle Stopped!? The transfer case is not loose or is it touching the floor I did it a few times with the same result?
I found that if I put 2 fingers lightly on the uni joint it Stopped? I checked heaps of times? The same no Rattle .. Take fingers Off .. Rattle?
I checked there is No Movement in the uni joint ..The Weirdest Thing?
Only Rattles in Drive or Reverse?
It Rattles under acceleration and sometimes on a bump on the road If you are cruising say rolling along at 50 kph it is quiet?
I don't really know But I think I will change the uni joints and see what happens?
