Where oh where is that rattle? FOUND IT!
My 2004 with 2400 miles on it has a rattle.
It came on at about a 1000 miles.
Sounds like a coffee can full of coins being shaken.
Comes from the passenger side.
Is activated by bumps, like a patch in blacktop, or switching from concrete to blacktop, anything that puts the suspension to work.
I thought it was the wheel center caps.
Took all four off, still rattled.
Thought it was the engine cover.
Took it off, still rattled.
Thought it was the backing plates on the brakes.
Put sound pads on them, still rattled.
Thought it was wiring in fender.
Isolated it, still rattled.
Thought it was three pair of sunglasses in glove box.
Took everything out of cab and back, still rattled.
Checked running boards, exhaust and shields, all suspension bolts and mounts.
Doesn't matter top up or down, same with windows.
Anyone know what I'm missing.
It is getting embarrassing in city traffic as the rattle gets louder, bouncing off the cars next to me.
