Hiya all.... finally a rattle I cant find so HELP!
Its at the rear, cant be certain passenger / driver side. Its not the exhaust, thats well fitted. I have had the wheels off, checked for anything loose or not held tight. I stripped out the boot interior, folded the rear seats, removed the hatchback inner panel, tightened up the wheelarch liners.... made sure the back bumper is solidly fitted....everything I can think of.
So I'm left suspecting the dampers or their top mount, or.... God forbid.... the rear subframe rubbers.
Anyone any experience of this?
The noise isnt consistent, sounds like alloy on alloy or some metal, not plastic.
Doesnt happen over bumps or speed humps, just on eneven small undulations....
Bloody irritating, I listen for it now!
Any ideas anyone?
