Can't tell you how many times I've pulled ---- outta people's trunks
that was causing a "rattle in the front end".
Damn squeeks and rattles are why I finally quit the dealership after
19 years.

Re: Found Front TJ Rubicon Rattle
While working at a GM dealer back in the early 80's a friend of mine
tracked an illusive "thunking" sound to a large hex nut suspended
inside the passenger door on a piece of wire! Someone was having a
bad day at that assembly plant!

Re: Found Front TJ Rubicon Rattle
My uncle had a '53 Studebaker when I was young and he would always
complain about the rattle on the right side. One winter his right side
window got off the track and he took the car in to have it fixed. The
dealer pulled the door panel and discovered a 8oz Coke bottle and a
crumpled up piece of wax paper. Lunch break at the Studebaker Plant. :-)

Re: Found Front TJ Rubicon Rattle
If my cell phone charger and my wallet are in the glove box on my 00 XJ, it
makes the worst squeak in the world.
