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!
Me hitting my engine with a sledge hammer trying to find a rattle
😂😂
Probably found many rattles after that
@@Zeeangelofdeath and perhaps creating at the same time
go for the intake manifold 😂
😂😂😂 man
Finally I found my answer thanks
Edit: It was a piece of metal from the shield, removed it by hand. Dealer quoted me couple thousand for bearing and differential......
Yea stay away from the stealerships unless you really have too
Saved the day with this video. Thank you. Loose metal guard on the brake mechanism. Clipped back on and job done. This technique found it straight away. Cheers
I found the rattle in literally 5 seconds thank you
Without even using your method, I think I know where the problem lies. Thanks a lot.
Exactly what i tought😂
Bro, I was having a weird clunking noise when stopping and a pop when I'd back up and turn slowly. Was driving me crazy. So I did like you said, went and bought a rubber mallet and got under my car and just started smacking suspension parts. Sure enough, I hit one of the lower control arms and it did not sound like the others. Turns out the bolt had backed out just a little bit. Tightened it up and sure as shit, solved both problems. Rubber mallet guy for the win!! Thanks brother. 100% will be using this going forward. 👍
thank you very much!!!!!!!!for one month i have noise under my BMW,,,no one know from where,,,,i look your video and i punch the wheel , and the rear wheel was noisy ,,it was break pad,,thank man
Just !!!! AMAZING
thanks for the video
My head is about to explode trying to find an a stupid noise
perfect trying this tomorrow before I go to a shop to change the wheel bearing... thank you I was not aware of this technique
Bro awesome thank you so much may the Lord bless what you are doing 🙏
This was so helpful. Thank you ! I have a Jeep and it makes that exact sound only over bumps in the road, and tomorrow I see the mechanic to suss it out and repair. Now I can make a knowledgeable suggestion of what to check out. Thanks again. :)
👍👍
Genius!! Can’t to try this out on both family vehicles. 🎉
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!
I'm going to do this tomorrow morning... thank you.
You sir, are a genius!!! Thank you so very much!
This video helped me without me looking for the problem 😂😂😂
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.
I recorded mines but nobody could figure out where it was coming from. 😢
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.
BEST TECHNIQUE SO FAR!!! Liked and Subbed!
👍👍
Thank you.
Very useful. Smart.
Thanks
Thank you!!!!! Found the right video finally lol
Found my problem g thanks man
very helpful thanks that actually solved my prob
I am bout to use this and see if I can find my dull front end noise that no "mechanic" can find.
Thanks, this is a great technique
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...
Thanks.
Sounds exactly like my issue, but only on my rear wheels
2016 Chrysler 300c AWD
Thanks bro it’s very helpful
Best method only brilliant do this trick 🌺
Really took that rubber head to pound town!
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?
0:24 “if we found this will” tire explodes when struck from sidewall
Lower ball joint is a bit weak also.
awesome idea 👌✌
I owe you a case of beer!
I thought you were about to make a beat at one moment! You shouldve.
Thanks bro!
Good video, thanks
Great
So how did u fix the shield then?? I have the exact same issue.
You will need to get new unrusted backing plate, use PB and proper bit\driver\socket if there is any small bolt(s) holding the hub assembly backing plate on.
Dust shield; backing plate. Part of wheel hub assembly, sometimes pinched in between wheel bearing hub and knuckle flat. Smoooshed with so much torque that they fracture their paint coating firstly in these spots and begin to rust first in this bearing bolt hidden spot up behind the knuckle; then they fracture loose and rattle or will curl\bend and rub into brake rotor and just need bending back.. If your backing plates are wedged between bearing and knuckle (press), then you will want new bearing same time. Do not re-press a removed bearing hub if it needs pressed. Simple bolt on axle'less hubs are just 4 bolts and pass through backing plate and are reused. There's only a few ways. Just look it up to be sure..
0:59 and i already know where is the rattle, no need to beat your car. Sometimes, good look its enough :)
This won’t knock my tires of out alignment, will it?
Genius
great. Thanks!
Thanks man i will try!
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.
That sounds like what's coming from the rear of my jetta.
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!!
LOVE IT
cents
Nice👍🏽
So what was that thing ?
Brake backing plate, dust shield..
Part of wheel hub assembly.
What is this called? The shield?
Heat shield
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.......
Good
👍
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

Are you judge Judy?
Thanks for making this video it helped me
