Re: stupid rattle

Check to see if your catalytic converter has gone bad because my car had this rattle noise that got especially bad when my car was at idle, turnded out a piece of carbon had broken loose inside and was causing a really bad rattle, not to mention it was hurting the gas mileage and performance of my car.

Re: stupid rattle

Could be the spare tire/jack itself. If they're not stowed correctly they can make a metallic racket from the back of the car.
