I have an 02 TB with about 60,000 miles on it and there seems to be a lot of rattling noises coming from underneath the vehicle both front and rear but mostly on the drivers side while driving over small to medium bumps in the road at lower ( 10 -30 mph ) speeds. I think I have checked out all of the obvious items such as spare tire, hitch, exhaust. It's really starting to drive me crazy... I love the TB but hate the noise. Does / has anyone have / had this problem? Thanks in advance for any insight on this. -Don

Mr. Northface

Perhaps you have something loose in the suspension department?

Prop rod under the hood could also add to the grief.

If you have the shield package under the TB.....is a bolt loose or something?


Just a few suggestions.

Found one of my rattles... the front drive shaft where it heters the transfer case. It has just a tad bit of up and down play in it. Anyone else ever experience this?

Don,
I have the same problem. I have an '02 LT with about 60k and the rattling (sometimes more of thumping around) drives me nuts too!. It feels to me to be something with the suspension. If you find anything, I would be interested in hearing about it.

Front stabilizer bar bushings and end links and rear stabilizer end links have caused problems. If you replace, replace with Moog parts, as they have grease fittings. OEM parts do not have the zerks.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE HAD CAR TO DEALER 4 TIMES TRYING TO GET RID OF AWFUL NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M DRAGGING METAL CLOTHES HANGERS UNDER CAR. SUCKS! DEALERSHIP STILL CANNOT FIND REASON WHY.
