rattling noise out of corners..

[V8Dom]

i have a rattling noise coming out of corners under hard accelation and low revs...... initially i thought it might be pinking but after a few tries wonder if the diff is rattling under use......

anyone else heard a noise....metalically... low revs , hard acceleration

thanks dom

The front springs rattle on hard cornering as they are shorter than the shocks.

However that's quite a 'deep note' rattle... not really like pinking.

You can see this when you jack the car up and let the suspension hang.

I had a similar thing which sounded like a ringing noise which rose with road speed.
It turned out to be the drive shaft needed re-greasing.
Once done it stopped immediately.
Its an easy 5 minute job if its the same problem. I just reattached the boots with tie wrap.

Dom hi,
Difficult to tell without hearing but I had something just like this a few weeks ago -symptoms, metallic rattling sound just of idle getting much worse on acceleration / load.
Turned out to be a lose exhaust manifold bolt. I have never heard an exhaust blow sound so metallic, I thought I had a rocker cover full of spanners moving at the speed of the cams.
Anyway a couple of mins with a ring spanner should tell if you have the same problem.
Cheers,
Nick.

cheers guys... will have a look during week... Initially as it was coming out of corners under hard acceration i wondered if it was the diff working overtime, and only you could tell me as its a porsche diff experiance required...But will do all that was suggested as its worth doing anyway..

Check Drive Shaft CV joint bolts, i had something similiar last year, turns out i have lost a ball bearing from one of the CV's (very messy)

hi checked driveshaft bolts, drive shafts, exhaust headers etc etc...all wish bones are ok as well ... all rose joints tight

i have also removed the front and rear antiroll bars as Richard advised that is why i had a bump steering problem....

Going to give it a run on saturday and maybe check timing just in case and check ride height as well i have corner weight scales at work so if i change the height i can recheck the weights... keep you all informed... thanks for ultima experiance suggestions
