View Full Version : Clattering at the bottom of SVX

I noticed recently that when I close the trunk of my SVX, there is a
clattering sound of loose metal hitting metal.

What could it be?

I am going to do an oil change today and investigate further, but any body who might have a hypothesis would help (so I know what to look, to replace)


It is not the heatshields, atleast not the front ones. I had fixed that awhile ago and accelerating the car does not make the
awful noise that it used to.

Mine does the same thing when I close my doors. Sounds "cheap" doesn't it? I just suspected heat shields since I still have a bit of buzzing, but, if you find out differently, please let me know. I'm still guessing it's an exhaust component of some sort.
