rattling ass

[04muscle]

Hey boys and girls, my ass end rattles when going over speed bumps, at low speed when all should be quiet, any ideas?? (talking about my 04 grand prix gt, by the way!!)

dead body in the trunk? :th_nanana:

Spare tire/other stuff with the spare not secured?

 

[Skeeve]

Probably yeah, open it up and take a look around

I got rid of my 'ass rattle' by removing everything in the spare tire compartment.

probably an old top plate.. I had one of mine replaced in my 04 a couple months back.. roads suck in montreal

Seems to be more in the suspension, axle type area. Thanks, for the suggestion though.

had a customer with an 04 grand prix and it was the rear sway bar, needs new bushings and or sway bar links.

 

[04muscle]

Ok, dropped off the mother in law. still have the noise!!!!

I would start with the rear sway bar to frame bushings... usually cheapest between 10-20 dollars for the pair. If that doesnt cure it then my best guess is the rear sway bar links

 

[JDCMoney]

o **** sorry mikedinthecity didn't realize you already answered that...

anyways, what mike said!

We had this problem a while back and had to replace the rear sway bar. Good luck, hope its that since its a easy cheap fix.

I have a slight squeak in the rear too and it seems that a screw has worn its self loose from the rear bumper. I just always forget to get a replacement for it unless i'm driving it. Check them out, you never know it could be something simple.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.

Good thought, I had some body work done on it at the back, I will check all the mounts.

Have some one ride in the trunk, then drive around
