Re: Rattle after engine mount replacement Posted by Dan [Email] (#2459) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Dan) on Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:05:19 In Reply to: Rattle after engine mount replacement, Scott, Sat, 22 Mar 2008 05:49:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Here's my thinking...You changed your motor mounts quite possibly stiffening up the motor in place. This "may" cause a bit more vibration through the car but shouldn't do too much....depends on how bad the previous mount was. But if your rattle is in the dash, as you mention in your post, then my guess is that would be the first place to look for a permanent fix. Maybe with the stiffer set up now, parts that didn't rattle before are rattling now in your dash. I never drove my '95 900 until after replacing the mounts so I don't know what rattled before but my dash rattles some. Check to see what might be the actual cause as putting your hand on the dash can be a fairly good rattle absorber regardless of where the rattle exists. I have taken small pieces of paper and wedged them into joints in the dash before to see if I could eliminate the noise. After localizing the annoyance I then check to see if the joint can be tightened. If not, then I may add a small, thin piece of rubber between the joint. By then it is usually sorted out.
Maybe it is something much more mysterious but see if that helps.
