BEST way to find RATTLES on your car fast

Finding a rattle on your car used to be a big problem. Somebody showed me this technique and I’ve been using it ever cents. When you are driving and you hear a rattle when you hit something you know the rattles there but when you bring it in the garage how do you replicate the rattle. Well here’s a nice easy technique. Jack up the car so the suspension is floating free then to emulate the bump in the road take a sledgehammer and hit the tire. This will make The Rattle reappear. Now it’s a process of illumination have somebody hit the wheel while you go underneath the car and put your hand on each car part until the rattle stops. It’s amazing how well this works. In the video I go through the process on how to find a rattle and sure enough it worked just like he usually does.

Brilliant. I hammered my head once. Not only my car was fixed but all my miseries were gone in a flash.

I had some very loud rattling and clanging noises coming from my front drivers side when on rough roads and hitting small bumps. After looking into some videos, I took the wheel off and did an inspection of the suspension system parts but couldn’t find anything that stood out to me. The lug nuts seemed a little loose taking them off so I thought maybe that could possibly be the problem, but after putting everything back on to torque specs, it was still making the noise. I felt I was at the end of the road of my capabilities so I figured to take it in for service, but I found this method and it worked great to get it resolved. I was by myself and I banged on some of the suspension parts with a rubber mallet. I started hitting the ball joint area and heard some rattling. I started feeling around while hitting parts and then noticed one of the small bolts that fastens the brake caliper onto the piston bolts was completely missing. I checked the other bolt and it was even loose. The front pads were changed only about 6 months ago by the previous owner, so the shop that did them (Pep Boys) just didn’t tighten them enough. I replaced the fastening bolt and now the noises are fixed! I went ahead and tightened the caliper bolts on the passenger side as well. This was the first time I ever diagnosed and fixed something related to noises in the brake / suspension area - it was an enjoyable small victory! Thanks for the helpful video!

Thanks! Had a rattle in front passenger side under car going down some rough road but disappeared on smooth road. Found this video, tested, found hubcap is not secured on front passenger wheel. Hoping that's all it is!

[@Drewster10]

Uk, £700 paid so far. Multiple things changed that wasn't the fault by garages and that HOPEFULLY just showed my the offending area. Fingers crossed.

[@rainerstahlberg2486]

great. Thanks!

[@bloozegirl3273]

Thank you.

[@JG-no4qr]

it would be nice to hear a recording of the sounds so I can see if it's the exact same sound I'm hearing.

[@mywa8314]

I recorded mines but nobody could figure out where it was coming from. 😢

[@Crip-toe]

Thanks for making this video it helped me

[@MrMoneyBlowin]

thats the same sound. im hearing from my car, how exactly do you fix that or is it pricey if i just take it to a mechanic?

[@coastalorphan]

Genius

[@Metal_junk]

This won’t knock my tires of out alignment, will it?

[@michaeljenkins8466]

I thought you were about to make a beat at one moment! You shouldve.

[@andrashavas]

Interesting! My car had a similar problem, I think one of the suspension parts was aged and worn out so that the rubber parts did not absorb the shock properly. Of course non of the repair shops had any clue to the problem. They even said it must be the clutch! If they did this, probably I would have avoided 3 years of irritation... In the end I sold my car...

[@Sanjay-xk1uz]

Good

[@livefree6878]

👍

[@LuvUral]

So what was that thing ?

[@AlKaseltzer87]

That sounds like what's coming from the rear of my jetta.

[@wfs4227]

What is this called? The shield?

[@mudmods5101]

Heat shield

[@jims2507]

This doesn't seem useful for rattles inside the car (it seems like the suspension and jackstands will absorb the hammering). I found a lot of links by just googling find interior rattles. However, I will definitely be trying this someday, for suspension rattles, thanks!!

[@jankindl915]

0:59 and i already know where is the rattle, no need to beat your car. Sometimes, good look its enough :)

[@ForwardNewsToday]

0:24 “if we found this will” tire explodes when struck from sidewall

[@Imtheboss333]

Wow, this might just work! Ill be back with a comment. Mu annoyingly next problem lyes with a rattle that only starts after 40 mph? WTF? Yea thats what I said. To be continued.......

[@irenarobh6058]

can i borrow your hammer....well done..

[@jeremiahjaikol6495]

i wish i saw this video last week..thought it was exhaust sflow muffler ratting inside.change my muffler the rattle still there..then i punch my tire thought the drum brake..then go under car knock2 punch2 there it is rear spring rattle with underbody surround plate touching the spring😂 car is celica liftback ta28

[@heidevoglis9178]

Are you judge Judy?

[@TimothyKasch-fm7bn]

This is the worst way I’ve ever heard to find a rattle, taking the weight off the suspension will make it completely different conditions then when you’re driving. If this had been a ball, joint, tie rod, strut, wheel bearing, axle etc, all the things, the typically make noise, you never would’ve found to doing that.
