Hey guys, my j's racing 60rs is rattling/vibrating at 2k rpm while driving. Does anyone know what this could be from? Are there are any solutions like rubber wedges or something of the sort?

Thanks

u mad?

could be rubbing on heatshields

put car on jacks, get under it while some bloke revs ur car and just listen out where its coming from

then go from there once you know where the rattle is coming from

cat might be disintegrated

exhaust vibrating on body

excess movement caused by engine rocking back and forth under load

try to pinpoint the area its coming from then diagnose

I know the sound is more towards the rear so I think the exhaust would probably be vibrating on the body. Would rubber wedges or something similar be a suitable fix? Given the amount of heat

wedging rubbers to fix isnt really good idea

see if you can find any wearmarks around the area you hear it,any worn paint or fresh metal

best to find out why its not positioned correctly first and if you have to adjust it sometimes bending the hangers works well so you have clearance
