Buy a Toyota or a Nissan! Seriously though, you describe a rattle while stopped with engine under strain. Some places to look: catalytic converter shield. Thin sheet metal that's over converter as a heat shield. Notorious for rusting and rattling. ALSO- check other parts of the exhuast...clamps, hangers... If you decide to stick your head under the car to find out, make sure each wheel has a chock, front and back, and the emergency brake is on! Good Luck! <<<ADR>>>

Have a 1998 Tahoe there is a rattling noise in the front when you drive?

My 2001 Tahoe did the same thing. Everytime I hit rough road, speed bumps, or even a tight turn, I would hear a rattle in front and a vibration in the steering wheel. I asked a mechanic at Tires Plus to look at it and he said the steering column shaft was the culprit. $125 later (which included labor), problem was solved.
