Honda Car Forum

Hi
I have a 91 Accord EX Sedan and just crossed 151K

i hear a rattling noise coming somewhere from the rear end. Previously, I
use to hear this rattling sound when the car used to cross the speed of 70
mph but these days I can hear it even when I start the car and just moving
out of the driveway. It sounds as if some two metal objects are clanging
together.

just wondering what it could be.

TIA.

Exhaust system - Look for bent, or rusted, or loose/falling off heat shields
around the exhaust pipe; loose/missing pipe hangers, muffler falling off,
etc.

Check your springs. They have been known to corrode and crack on older and
or high mileage Accords. The noise could be the springs rattling or even
the shock tubes (due to the off kilter springs).

Yeah I think that could be the thing , cause its sounds as if two metal rods
clang together.

Thanks for all the feedback.
Will check all.
