How about a rear end rattle? (Read 125 times)

aysrav YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 30 Augusta, Georgia Gender:	How about a rear end rattle? 08/21/08 at 11:21:42 OK, no funny cracks about my bottom. But seriously, I've got a rattle that seems to be coming from the lower left (as ridden) of my S40. It seems most apparent on the low end of 3rd gear and I have about 2,000 miles on her. Any thoughts? aysrav

Reply #2 - 08/21/08 at 11:56:56 My dog has an occasional rear end rattle, but it is easily identifiable by the smell. Check the side plate that covers the electronics on the left side, it is only held in by one screw and loosens easily. Mine got so loose that it fell off in traffic and got squashed. Cost me $86 to replace.

Yeah, thanks for asking. I'm almost certain it's the chain/belt guard. Everything else seems to be tight. The guard doesn't seem to want to bend. Anyone have any ideas on how get to an inch or two clearance there? I think I've only got about 1/4". And somewhere along the line in 3rd gear I don't even seem to have that.
BTW, no prob with the rear end jokes.Funny stuff! Grin

Thanks.
