Could you tell by banging on it with a rubber hammer? Mine looks fine and I cant ge tit to move or vibrate..

I removed the cats, changed the muffs and I still get the rattle...not as bad but still there and I can't find it. Its not pinging, and it occurs under load during acceleration and if the car bounces a little..weird..

From what I've heard they completely snap. When I bought my car that's what the previous owner said happen to the sway bar.

They usually snap near the mounting bolts are. Atleast the last 2 stockers I had broke there.

Nothing with the exhaust rubbing or bumping eh? I had a wierd rattle for a while wierdes thing.

Finally figured out that under some strange circumstance if the moon was right, one of my tailpipes would hit the side of the gas tank and make the noise.

I bent that flap on the tank up and put some cushioned metal shielding and th enoise would have at least changed if not disappeared... I wonder if my car has that much hop?
