Rattle in the back of my car. S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Special Sauce on  Thu May 16 06:17 CST 2002 [RELATED]

There is a rattle in the rear of the car when I go over bumps etc. It's not loud, but it is noticable. Several volvo "professional" mechanics have investigated but could not find the problem. They inidcated everything was fine with the suspension. Could it be related to the trunk or the bumper. I've noticed that it seems like my bumper is drooping a bit. Thanks for the use of your knowledge. Tom.

I had a similar rattle. In my case it was a bushing. Once the bushing replaced, the rattle was gone.

Couple thoughts:

Flip the seats forward; that may make it easier to hear. If it
is gone then the seat latch might be ratteling (my seat latch
rattled and was replaced).

Check the exhaust system hangers to see if any are ratteling. I
banged on mine with a rubber mallet to get the exhaust to vibrate and
found one hanger that would just touch the frame -- bent it back a bit
with pliers and that fixed it.
