Found Front TJ Rubicon Rattle
After changing U-Joints and many lifts and checks for worn shocks, exhaust,
motor mounts all else under the front. I found the rattle~~~ one bolt
missing from skid plate under driver seat side. The plate did not seem to
move but I guess trans torque and bumps made this seem to come from the
right front. All is silent now I hit the plate with a 2x4 and could not make
it rattle. Word of advise check skid plates when strange rattles occur. Don

Re: Found Front TJ Rubicon Rattle
Cool, it took me twenty years to find a squeak in my Bronco, until I
finally noticed the telltale rust around a bolt holding a fender on.

Reminds me of a buzzing noise that was in the ZJ. I looked around.
Checked every darn thing I could think of. Then discovered it was
a snap on a jacket I had laying on the floor.
heh. >_<

Back in the seventies we found an extra long screen door type spring, and
stretched it across the back of the seat in the wrecker at the garage where
I worked. At 55 mph it made the most fearsome rattle that they may still be
trying to figure out.
