Tail-Pipe rattle??? ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Evan on  Fri Nov 17 07:19 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Anyone...

I have an '86 240D that I picked up cheap... I don't know how many miles are on it as the Odometer is broken... the problem I have is that at various speeds (anywhere from 20mph up to around 70mph) if I take my foot off the gas (automatic tranny)I get a very load rattle/knocking sound from the back end. I think it might be that the tail pipe, which looks new, may have been bent wrong during the install and is hitting the frame. For the same speed that makes a knock, if I put it in neutral the knocking goes away so I don't think it is the drive shaft... Comment/opinions would be appreciated

Please e-mail me as I don't get a chance to cruise the net often and I would like to get an answer soon... it is driving me nuts and makes me wonder what kind of damamge I might be doing...

Thanks for the time.
