HokemBokem Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Well when my car is running and im in drive on the brake I start hearing this wierd sounds like metal on metal tapping noise. I have narrowed it down to a few things but dont know how to fix any. My back seat is not fully cliped in for some reason. There is a metal piece that is supposed to slide in but it is stuck on the outside and I cant seem to get it back making the back seat stick out a little on one side. Also when I shake my muffler It bounces around easliy and makes some noise but not really the sound I hear. I really need to snap a pic of the backseat bc its fucking wierd I have to like lift the seat up to get the latch over but it wont buldge. edit: when i put my car in nuetral the noise goes away. its only whwn im in drive?

terryk2003 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 how bout the exhaust heatshield...if your car shakes a lil bit in gear with your foot on the brakes the exhaust could be hitting the shield, or the shield could be loose and just moving around because of the shake...then, in neutral or park, the idle smooths out and it doesnt rattle anymore...

1990lumina Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'd say something to do with the exhaust. My friend's Cavy makes a sorta a metal to metal poping sound when it is idling because the inside of the muffler is fucked...I don't see a connection between your jack and when gear you are in unless it is a very faint rattling you are hearing. Usually the jack might make a noise when driving a huge pothole or something, but probably not when the car is idling a little rough.. - Jeff L.
