cyberfire Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi. I have a 96 Legacy Station MT. When at 120KPH (75MPH) in 5th and I take the foot of the acceleator, I can here a strange metalic rattle sound from what I think is the rear part of the car. this only happens on long trips. I have tried to do this parked at 3500RPM but just cant. any ideas on this? Thanks. George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Heat shields on the exhaust have a tendency to rattle. They can be tied down with clamps/jubilee clips. Sometimes the thin aluminium shields on the car can work lose and touch the exhaust piping. Same kind of noise. Either way they can be a pain to replicate under controlled conditions. Get the car up on a lift with a helper in the car to rev the engine past 3000rpm and let them drop again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2X2KOB Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 GO underneath with a rubber hammer or a chunk of wood and bang on the exhaust heat shields, pretty soon you'll find the one that makes the noise you are so familiar with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
