New Nosie

Over the weekend I noticed a new noise coming from underneath my car. I guess at the location is the passenger side around the area where the exhaust comes down. Sounds like a hallow shaking noise. It’s not very loud. Car still runs great and shifts good. I’ve uploaded a video.

Re: New Nosie

Dude, you might need to stop obsessing over noises. This is your third post asking about new sounds. The car is 30-40 years old, it's gonna make noises.

Also, instead of posting an audio clip how about LOOKING around the area where the noise is coming from? The internet cannot fix your car for you and cannot crawl under it for you.

Excellent response.
I'm on another Forum, and posts like this were extremely rare until it started being overrun by "Facebookers."
So annoying.

Trying to get a diagnosis of a possible issue from the audio off of a vid from the interwebz is an exercise in futility. Nothing that comes out of the tiny speakers on a cell phone or laptop sounds like the source. Added to that is the fact that sounds can carry through metal to a place far away from the actual cause of the noise in question.

As above, it's up to you to get under there and pinpoint what the problem---if there actually is a problem--- might be.





Be careful while under a running car; make sure the transmission is in 'park,' the e-brake is set, and have one of the wheels chocked.
