Hi all

Hope you can help me out.

My car has just started rattling, sounds like something is slightly loose and is vibrating/rattling when driving, but I cannot find it. Sounds like it is coming from the back, but I cant be sure as it only does it when driving, not when Idling...!

I had a quick crawl under and check that nothing obvious was loose, but as it was all hot it was a bit tricky.

Anything obvious that I can look for? Is this a common thing that someone will immediately know the answer to? If not, any of your clever chaps have a ramp in the Bucks area I could maybe use to poke around (save me paying for a garage to use one).

Thanks in advance.

J

Had an annoying rattle/squeak on the tuscan would only do it whilst moving. Checked everything I could and all seemed in order but it persisted.

Turned out to be dry suspension bushes, greased up and off I went.

Had mat smith scratching his head for an hour or so.
I will take a look later, but its just had a suspension overhaul (new wishbones etc) at Sr8six so I doubt they will have omitted any grease if it was needed. That was also a few months ago and it has just started, so Im not convinced.....Will defo check though - thanks.
