Rattle hunt

Recommended Posts

I've got some tocks and ticks to find in my cabin, and this is the year to do it! I'd appreciate any suggestions to help me find them.

1. Driver door clonks under high G cornering. Something is sliding around inside

2. Ticking and tocking from rear left quarter (I think) in response to jiggly road surface. Comes and goes with temperature/time. I peeled back the boot trim to have a look, found what I think is the rear suspension top mount (two nuts and a hole with a third nut in it), didn't budge to fingers but I didn't have time to try a socket on them. No signs of scraping, so they're hopefully staying put.

3. Speaker shroud on driver's side dashboard. Probably just need to wedge it in with some padding.

4. Sound of poorly lubricated machinery between ears. Persists outside the car.

I'm driving around without a head unit at the moment (one more difference between Subaru and Toyota is the head unit brackets are different!) and so many of the rattles are gone.

When I get the right brackets to fit the Xtrons head unit I'll be smothering it in anti rattle tape I think!
