problem with rattling noise - 8/20/2007 10:18:54 PM    caddymaster93   Posts: 6 Joined: 8/20/2007 Status: offline I have a 93 Seville and ever since i got it its had a loud rattling noise when u accelerate, and it sounds like its somewhere between the rear axel and the transmission.  Any ideas on what it could be?

If the heat sheild is rattling around I've seen guys put together a few large diamenter hose clamps and wrap that around them as opposed to tearing the shield off. (in reply to stomper) Post #: 5

I found that was my problem on a GMC Safari. Sounds too simple I know but worth a try. You could also check for a worn U-Joint, shake tha driveshaft to check for play.
