#934 of 1936 Rattling When Turning Left by dhski04 Jul 09, 2007 (4:42 pm)
When I am driving at slower speeds (under 30), I can hear a metallic rattling coming from what sounds like the front left. It generally happens when I am turning left or reversing to the right. I read some other postings that suggested a bad CV joint might be to blame, but I looked at the boots underneath on both sides (and inner and outer) and saw no signs of a leak or break. Any other ideas? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jul 09, 2007 5:08 pm) elroy5 (Jul 09, 2007 5:20 pm) dgrge (Jul 28, 2007 8:49 am) johneb18 (Jul 30, 2007 5:19 am)

Replying to: dhski04 (Jul 09, 2007 4:42 pm) You don't need a leak or brake in the rubber, for the CV joint to be bad.

Replying to: dhski04 (Jul 09, 2007 4:42 pm) The CV joint will make a sort of "clicking" sound, with the wheel turned, at low speed (easier to hear it with the window open). If you are getting a "rattling" sound, it could be suspension components or body parts.

#938 of 1936 99 V6, 30k miles, need maintenance recommendation by stuartf Jul 11, 2007 (6:40 am)
My parents drive very little, like maybe 10-15 miles a week at this point. I want to get their car services but not sure what I should have done, given the age vs. mileage question.   I am thinking change the fluids (oil, brake, coolant, tranny), cehck the t-belt and serpertine belt, change the air filter and the climate control filter. Other suggestions?? (They are still running the original tires, but I don't think the car ever goes over 30 MPH these days.   Thanks Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 11, 2007 6:49 am)

Replying to: stuartf (Jul 11, 2007 6:40 am) I think I'd put that engine on a synthetic oil diet, since this will lessen the possibility of engine sludge. That poor engine will never get warm, and also fuel dilution of the oil might be a problem (running too rich a mixture at start-up but not driven enough to burn the fuel residue out of the oil).

Replying to: thegodfather (Jun 11, 2007 10:03 am) I have had the same issue. It happened once then went away. Now its back and worse. I've found that when I have the engine at higher RPM's, most of the time the lights go out. Did you find out what the problem was with your issue? It sounds very similar to the one I am having. Please let me know. Thanks. Replies to this message: user777 (Jul 12, 2007 4:01 pm)

Replying to: mk1371 (Jul 12, 2007 11:11 am) it's possible at higher rpms, vibration is more, and something is loose.   but i'm thinking something else.   i'm not an expert on alternators, but if the diode / regulator assembly on the thing was bad, and it wasn't clamping voltage output to the proper upper range value - 14 or so volts), then possibly it's over-volting some ckt that is shutting down to protect itself when the rpms and resulting voltage get too high.   first things first, take your intensity adjustment and run it back and forth a few times to clear any debris that might be making that ckt a flakey.   then, if that didn't help, i'd go to an autozone and have them put the alternator and battery under test.   the other possibility is the battery is going and unable to aid in the filtering of the output of the alternator. or, possibly, you got a loose battery cable.   either way, a possible cause for burning up bulbs as they don't have their own voltage regulation that circuit boards would probably have to save them from big transients when the vehicle starts up or shuts down.

I have noticed in the last couple of days whenever I shut the engine off on the car it stops really abruptly, evem my wife asked if I noticed it and I hadnt said anything to her. It also shudders pretty darn bad like you can feel the whole engine wobble under the hood as soon as you turn the car off. Anyone know what this might be!? I was thinking motor mounts. Car has 77k miles. Thanks and Happy Motoring...
