That was about six months ago and it is now returning. Ive read one way to resolve it is to get a custom setup put on then presto no exhaust rattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rather annoying I hope someone can tie it down a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will mention it to the dealer at the 15k service. It's the only issue that I have with the ute. Otherwise, I am extremely happy with the ute.

If so you can remove them without any side effects at all. I removed mine after a year of stuffing around trying to fix it. 5 years later and no dramas.

ubute Member 172 Member For: 19y 2m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 22/12/09 12:13 AM Share Posted 22/12/09 12:13 AM Yeah my FG ute has an obvious vibration when idling in "D" too. Kind of sux when you're trying to show off the ute to someone and it just sits there vibrating and shaking. Felt like it was just idling too low.My old BA exhaust had a very sh*tty fart-in-a-can rattle sound under load too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
