GU3 - front end rattle !!!
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 4:38 pm
Hey guys.
I am desperate to find this rattle, as it is driving me crazy. Being a severe tinitus suffering, those who have this condition will understand my pain.
My rattle is a metalic sounding one, that only appears between 1700 and 1900 revs, when accelerating. It only last between his rev range, so 1 second max, but it is still enough to drive me crazy.
I cannot replicate the rattle when idling, even through this rev range. But once moving, it appears EVERY time I drive through this rev range.
Appears to be coming from the front drivers side, but can't find it.
So far I have:
Removed the door trim and tightened everything and greesed all moving parts.
Tightened door striker.
Tightened bonnet stops.
Removed factory side steps.
Removed roof lining and re-glued strut supports (this fixed a previous rattle).
Got underneath and tapped everything to see what was loose. (nothing).
So please, any other suggestions. I have been looking at every 4wd forum I know and tried many suggestions, but still I seek an answer.
PLEASE !!!!!
