Post by: coggers79 on 27 June 2009, 13:05

i have a very annoying rattle coming from underside of car thought it was my middle silencers baffles which is only 2 months old so garage replaced it but still got rattle. my heatshields are fixed so its not them could it be suspension or something else its not a banging noise more a tinny rattle peeeeed off now over rough surfaces sounds like my car is dropping to bits.also thought about roll bar or some king of bush but not of the kate or hairy variety any comments would be great  :cool:
