LTS60 They see me rolllin n hatin... Member 427 Member For: 18y 9m 10d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 16/09/07 08:45 AM Share Posted 16/09/07 08:45 AM Hello everybody. Lately I have noticed a rattle under the car when idling. Its louder when the ac is on. I went under and noticed its rattling right behind the cat where that metal protection is. Is this a common issue or did I maybe stuff it up when I scraped on something. Ute is lowed. Whats the best way to get rid of the rattle? Thanks for your time.Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Ford look at it at my last service, said they couldn't find anything, so I've grown to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also quite low. I attempted to remove the heat shild in an attempt of having it in case I wanted to replace it later. This lasted about 10 minuted before I went down the road and bought a pair of tin snips and went to town on the stupid thing. I hope I dont have to put it back on one day cause its in the bin now.But the rattle is gone.Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
