Hello everybody. Lately I have noticed a rattle under the car when idling. Its louder when the ac is on. I went under and noticed its rattling right behind the cat where that metal protection is. Is this a common issue or did I maybe stuff it up when I scraped on something. Ute is lowed. Whats the best way to get rid of the rattle? Thanks for your time.

There is nothing that shtiky tape can not fix :tonguepoke:

I have a little rattle as well on my sedan T, I think it may be the heat sheilds from all the rubbing on the humps etc.

not sure though. :tonguepoke:

I've got the same problem. Had Ford look at it at my last service, said they couldn't find anything, so I've grown to live with it.

Take it off and throw it in a box at the back of the garage some where and forget about it.

I HAD the same problem with the heatshield on my t. It is also quite low. I attempted to remove the heat shild in an attempt of having it in case I wanted to replace it later. This lasted about 10 minuted before I went down the road and bought a pair of tin snips and went to town on the stupid thing.

I hope I dont have to put it back on one day cause its in the bin now.

But the rattle is gone.
