Ever had a rattling noise come from the center of ur svx?
Ok, im not sure if this has been put into black and white so i thought i would post with a solution, i have spoken to some of the aussie guys on this topic aswell, now i have a photo to help explain.
So my SVX had some bad rattling/tinny/rubbing sounds coming from underneth it! so i proceded in removing the heatsheilds from the cat forward! This helped alot but didnt solve the problem completly The sound was best described as (by someone on this forum) a rock in a milo tin. This is what i found..... what actually happened was the heatshild shown here had misshapen, and occasionally would touch the driveshaft, hence the noise. You can actually see where the heatshield rubbed the black of the outside corner of the baring. (just above the arrow) I solved this problem with a big ass screwdriver and some twisting and shoving till the driveshaft was clear Hope this helps some people out cheers, Jake

Nice. I do have a little rattle somewhere underneath, but it rattles while I'm stopped too. Could still be a heat shield.

Wow
I've been searching for about 20 minutes for "rattling underneath," since I've got a similar problem with my '96 at the moment, and I'm pretty sure this is the problem! I think it might've been when I bottomed-out like a son-of-a-gun on a GIANT speed bump a few weeks back.
I only notice it between about 1700-2200 RPM, and only AFTER I let off the gas in P or N. Driving noise probably covers it up too much to notice when I'm movin' about. Thanks SO much for this info, it's been driving me nuts. Hopefully I can talk my boss into letting me use the car-lift in my shop for personal use

I had a rattle for over a year just to find out that little rocks had gotten on the lip of the heat shield over the muffler. After removing 50 or so rocks, no more rattle. I know everyones fix may not be that simplse but it's worth a try.

ALSO be on the lookout for your resonator to become noisy. Mine has an internal baffle loose and rattles

My resonator rattles like a *****. It started around 1700-2000 RPM, but now rattles or buzzes or generally makes irritating noises all over the place, mostly when the engine is under load. When the car's in the air I can hit the resonator and hear bits moving around inside.
