Rattle in the rear under carriage
Hey there, not quite sure where to put this thread so I hope I'm in the right spot.
Over the past 3 months I have been back and forth to Nissan with a rattle that has started in the rear right hand side. The rattle has an unmistakable ting, almost like loose bolts jiggling about close to the rear wheel. The rattle happens when going over the smallest of bumps, cats eyes even.. The beauty of it is, it's now moving to the left hand side as well..
So, my trips to the Nissan dealer have been less that helpful! They have checked over the car three times now (at two different dealerships) with absolutely no resolution. They have clearly stated that the car is safe and in no danger, however the rattle is seriously annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar situation? and if they found a resolution??

Re:
Recently a forum member has had the same issue, turned out to be a stone in the rear swing arm.
Did you use the search function?
Here is the thread.

Re:
Thanks Tony.
Yup, the search function was my first port of call. Must have missed this thread.
I'll be sure to have a look for rocks in the swing arm.

Re:
So it turns out, now that I know the problem, the problem has rectified itself!
I checked the swing arm this morning prior to going to work.. couldn't feel anything there and figured I would need the special camera mentioned in the forum link posted above.
Turns out, the rattle has disappeared!
Thanks for the help

Re:
Check the exhaust heat shields while your under there, might be vibrating or rubbing on something.

Re:
Have a look at all the wheels, a rattle is very difficult to locate exactly.
