#6 of 12 Re: Is it just road noise? [jpierce] by suv_guy_19 Aug 16, 2008 (12:50 pm)
Replying to: jpierce (Jul 12, 2007 7:03 am) I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering if you have any other info on this. We have a Rendezvous (2007) and the noise from the rear end is terrible. Over every expansion joint its almost as if someone is clapping their hands over your ears. The car wasn't near this bad when we first got it. I don't understand what happened.

Replying to: jpierce (Jul 12, 2007 7:03 am) Please help me find the service bulletin and/or repair kit or any other advise on how to eliminate the road noise and kettle drums sounds made when the vehicle rolls over any type of small road bumps or cracks...its loud.

#9 of 12 "Rumble/Roar" sound around 2200 RPM by garbal54 Jul 03, 2009 (8:37 pm)
Is the kit referred to in an earlier post to rectify the noise I am hearing around 2000RPM up to around 2500RPM? It is an annoying rumble that resonates through the whole vehicle. I was going to have my muffler replaced, but if a kit exists, how much is the typical cost for parts and labour?

Replying to: garbal54 (Jul 03, 2009 8:37 pm) Here's an answer to my own question. There is a kit, described as a "dampener" GM part number 88964153 specifically for the Rendezvous and it's listed at some online GM parts suppliers for around $460. No idea what it is comprised of, or what is involved in the installation. So here's my next question...has anyone had any experience with this "product" and if so tell me about it! Thanks!!

Replying to: garbal54 (Jul 08, 2009 3:48 pm) I just bought the dampener and didn't realize they are for AWD vehicles only!
#12 of 12 got rid of the thing by suv_guy_19 Jul 31, 2009 (8:27 am)
Good thing we got rid of the thing almost a year ago now. We found a nice dealer that was willing to absorb the trade in cost. We got a Ford Explorer and we couldn't be happier.
