Well, after 5 visits to the dealer my Rattle has finally been fixed! WHEW! To recap... I had a
rattle coming from what sounded like the "rear end" when hitting bumps at low speeds. Sounded kinda
like a washer on the backside of a loose nut, or two leafs rattling together would sound. My dealer
tried everything. They replaced spring clamps, tightened body bolts, the works. Ended up being
REALLY simple silly stupid. Turns out the P-brake cable was slapping against the frame rail right
under the drivers door! They put a piece of rubber hose over the cable, tightened it up, and no
more rattle! WHEW!
