I have a loud rattle in the center of my 2002 Chevy S10 ZR2. It is very loud and sounds like cards in the spokes of a bike. It is constant and only quiet when the vehicle is in neutral. What is it and how do i fix it....cost? Any help would be great. Replies to this message: sharpspur (Mar 20, 2007 10:13 pm) hoodlatch (Mar 21, 2007 3:49 am)

Replying to: bubbagravy (Mar 05, 2007 6:26 pm) Sometimes the catylitic converter's heat shield becomes loose when the spot welds fail. When this happens it creates a terrible racket.
