    I have a rattle

    After I have replaced the engine mounts (standard ones.... should have gone poly) I took my Leg on a cruise, and it drove great. My wife loves the BOV so she brings it on boost and backs off, which is fine. When I took the Leg out to drive it to work tonight, I stopped off at Maccas for a coffee and went over a speed hump slowly as usual. I then heard a strange rattle from the left front, then as i accellerated if went away. Im thinking maybe the exhaust is loose, or maybe the trans engine mount has decided it does not want to play nice any more. Thats all I have so far. Does anyone have any suggestions??

    Diagnosing rattles over the internet is tricky at best!

    It could also be the dust shield next to the brake disc, any number of loose bolts, cv joint etc.

    Check your wheel nuts and suspension bolts, then see if you can replicate it

    Yes it is!

    When I get home from work ill see if I can see where its coming from.

    I was only leaning towards an engine mount because my mechanic tore a little bit of the rubber around the bolt sleeve. He said it wouldnt matter..
