rattling from rear end on bumby roads - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I get alot of rattling from the rear end (lower) when I hit bumpy roads. Anyone else getting this? I was thinking maybe it was the exhust hooks, but can't be sure. Exhust seems firmly intact.

My magnaflow exhaust was rattling the tunnel brace.

I just added a couple washers and that cured the problem.

mine was rattling tooo in two places. One was where the transmission bracket. installed a couple washers. Then I found a bolt on the universal clamp where the thread was hitting the bottom. No more noises

Don't like the sound it's making now. Seeming to be getting worse. Hit a little bump and get a metal rattle sound. Taking her to dealer on Monday morning.

Check the spare tire area for anything that may be loose..just a suggestion.

Moorepheus · 04-03-2010, 04:11 PM

This is an outside noise. I have nothing in the trunk.

Just threw that suggestion out, good luck finding the issue.

Did you check the spoiler nuts?

Moorepheus · 04-03-2010, 04:16 PM

Car is brand new. 1100 miles on her. But I will check.

License plate or license plate holder.

sounds like the spoiler nuts in the trunk issue.

Moorepheus · 04-03-2010, 06:09 PM

Noise is in lower rear end. Not the spoiler. It's a metal rattling sound. It only happens when I hit a bump. Would the nuts on the spoiler rattle when I would slow diwnand speed up. I am just going to take her in and have them check it out. Also the spoiler bolt issue should not be an issue on my car as it was built 31 days ago, right.

Car at dealer for 2nd day. At first they could not hear the rattling from the rear end. I had to take the mechanic with me so he could hear what I was hearing. He said they would pin point the issue today. With that said, it IS NOT the spoiler bolts. Hopefully today he will find the source of the rattling.

One other thing, they have to replace the BREAK FLUID CAP on my car...leaking all over.....they had to order it.
