I have been noticing a rattling noise when accelerating from a stop or at very low speed. I have searched through the forum and it seems that most of the advice is that it could most likely be a heat shield rattling but I am not so sure that is the case with mine. It happens ONLY under load and doesn't sound at all like a heat shield or exhaust rattle. It also has nothing to do with low oil since it still did it right after I changed the oil and used the proper amount and it also isn't bad gas since I always use premium. It sounds like it is coming from under the car and was wondering if anyone has experienced a noisy drive shaft?

 

Only thing you can do Jay is the next time you get an oil change while your car is on the rack check the cat cover, bang on everything that might cause the noise your hearing....Gary

 

Never heard of a drive dhaft..... Is it next to the flux capacitor modulator?

 

Dammit, Im surprised it took this long to catch a little grief for that. I guess that is what I get for trying to type quickly while at work. Can a mod fix that for me?

 

Figure it might be the clicking axle issue? Does it happen when you switch into reverse? Which end of the car?

 

Someone had to

 

After watching video and hearing the rear axle click I would say that it is not that.

 

No worries, I honestly didn't even notice it.

I am pretty darn sure that I have the exact same issue - mostly just when the gears are changing from 1-2 and 2-3

 

Maybe it's just in my head but it seems like it is getting worse. Also forgot to mention originally that the drive shaft makes a loud knocking type noise while backing up in reverse but only if I do much anything more than just slowly backing out of my driveway or a parking space. The noise in reverse in mainly heard in the cabin and feels like it is coming from right under the center console. Not sure if these items are related but both are very annoying.
