Hi Jay,

Get it on a ramp..

Check condition of droplinks, suspension, antiroll bars, bushings and get the wheels checked for dents/cracks.. trackign and reallignment could also be an idea.

I fixed the parcel shelf rattle by taking out the rear seat, then unclipping the side panels (the ones that cover the inside of the quarter panels) stuffing some foam in there, and unclipping the parcel shelf and doing the same thing. I also used double sided foam adhesive tape around all the edges where the parcel shelf meets the body. did the trick nicely.

make sure it's not the speaker grilles making noise first.


re: the suspension etc. have you had the wheels balanced and tracked? I'd suspect the shock absorber for the suspension noise.

Definitely go for laser tracking and balancing, weights periodically fall off.
