Why would the rear of your 2001 Stratus make a clunk-rattle sound when driven over bumps at slow speeds?

If it is a cruching, squeeky kind of sound you most likely need your rear struts lubed. Minor and inexpensive.


What would make a rattle sound on a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird?

Sorry, but I'm looking for my rattle as well. I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Someone told me it was the struts. Well, new struts, same rattle. My rattle is right in the passenger side rear seat area. Any bump, no matter how small and I hear it. Had the seats out. All I can say is it's louder with the rear seats folded down. I've checked everything obvious.

Rattle when going forward 98 Forester 5 spd seems coming from your feet could it be driveshaft to the rear wheels no rattle in reverse?

My mom has a 2000 Forester that has a rattling sound at idle. Question regarding yours: Does your rattle sound metallic, almost as if sheet metal was banging against something? If so, it could be a loose exhaust hanger or heat shield. The reason this is my guess is based on the location of "coming from your feet". A lot of newer vehicles have various forms of heat shielding on the undercarriage, especially near exhaust systems. As for the situation on my mom's car, it's been that way for about 45,000 and is more of an "ignorable nuisance" if anything. I guess a better way to describe the noise would be to ask if it sounds "tinny".


Why would a Camry rattle when you release the pedal at start?

If it's coming from the rear, I would check either your catalytic converter or your muffler. Either could have pieces loose in them that would cause a rattling sound when you either push or release the throttle.

Caddillac Seville sts 1994 this car makes a sound near the rear of the car that sounds like a compressor when the car is just sitting sometimes what is this sound?

It is a compressor for your rear "auto level-ride" suspension. The car automatically adjusts the rear shocks to how much weight is on the rear end of the vehicle. This is to help maintain control of the vehicle with heavy loads, while offering a comfortable ride.
