I had a nasty rattle actually develop in my car a few days ago that's driving me crazy. I had lifted the car with a jack to clean the headers and I *thought* I could rest the car on the upper part of the SFC. As I lowered the car slowly I could the the SFC start to bend under the weight so I stopped the jack and re-raised it. Not the smartest move and now I have a rattle right underneath driver side door near the post.

Its driving me apeshit and yes I have Koni's and SFC's installed.

Other then that the car drives solid.

Doesn't look like it. Everything is still good and lined up underneath, same with the body panels. It's just an annoying ******* rattle.

i have the same problem as you..Around 35-45 mph i get a wicked vibration that shakes the car...I think either it is the Torque arm mount, motor mount, or my Pinion angle..And since the car is lowered the pinion angle is not center..I really dont know if that is the problem..I have a hard time beliving that this Shaking is caused only by my pinion angle, therfore making me buy a Torque Arm..

Could be driveshaft..Im gonna put a Aluminum one in right now, and see if that helps..If not ill move to the Torque arm Bushing..

BTW..Where the hell did you get that pic..She is fine
