O.K. I know trying to describe a rattle is almost futile. But my wife and I are at our wit's end and can use any suggestions you may have based on your experience with these cars (960).
The sound seems to emainate from the front of the car, low in the engine compartment. I can't distinguish either side of the car. It sounds like loose metal grating on metal, but muffled. It only occurs when driving on unsmooth roads. Engine speed, gear changes have no effect on the sound. It is truly random but always occurs with movement on roads that aren't even all that rough. Smooth roads produce little noise.
Things we've checked :
Crawled under the car and checked all nuts and bolts, lines, fuel filter mount. Engine and trans mounts. All front and rear suspension bolts. Tugged, Pulled and checked everything we could get our hands on in the engine compartment and under the car. Checked all nuts/bolts on front struts and rear shocks. Took everything out of the car and truck.
The only thing we could find : The sway bar link boots were torn (one on each link on both sides) and the left front link appeared to make a slight noise if I really shook the hell out of it.
Any thoughts you might have will help.
I love this car but sometimes it drives me nuts!
