Tinny harmonic type noise
 

Et All,
I have a 2000 TJ six cylinder that's developed a loud but intermittent
tinny sounding noise/vibration which sounds like it's coming from the
right rear of the vehicle. It's especially noticeable as I shift
throught the gears. I have checked the tail pipe, muffler, and
catalytic converter and all appear to be ok with no rubbing or loose
parts. I'm starting to suspect the heat shield that runs between the
tail pipe and body only because it's the only flimsy looking tinny
part in that area. Anyone else ever had this problem? Is the heat
shield hard to replace.
Thanks

You probably do not need to replace the heat shield, all you need do is
reform it a bit. You can usually hit it, or around it, and make it rattle if
that is the problem. If it is rattling, sometimes a bit of pursuasion with
pliers or a large screwdriver will change its mind.

Thanks, the u-joints are only 6 months old but worth checking again.
I'm starting to notice some body vibration along with the noise so
that could definitely be causing both issues.
