Rattles!!!!!!!!!everywhere
hi
i just rode in my bro's c-class today after he lowered it and put new 19" inch rims
...well actually he lowered it since about 2 months ago....
but not until today that i noticed his car rattles every where!!
especially when going over a bumpe or bad road
damn...it rattles everywhere...dash, back, head rest, seats...u nme it ....the rattle is very noticabel and i have a feeling it will become worse over time
my question is....Does your car also have rattles everywhere?
i suspect its because he lowered the car ??
coz last time before he lowered the car no rattles...only miinor and dealer fixed that.....but when he first lowered it (about 1 week after lowering) there is no rattle at all...only after 2 months
so guys what do you think cause this?is it the lowering?or are all c-class like that?
btw its about 13,000 miles C320 sedan
any help will be appreciated
thanks

but it was only about 2 months ago
i thought the shocks would last about a year even with agresive aftermarket springs?
th rattles are everywhere
any input will be appreciated

I believe in for every action their is a reaction.
Lower vehicle=ratttles.
You cannot blame the car manufacture for that problem.
I can honestly say I have only one rattle and that is the hat shelf, however it is infrequent.

I have had rattle problems with my 2003 C320 since the start. It's going in for the second time on Friday for these. There are rattles coming from the sterring column, from the center instrument panel, and from the glove box. It's really annoying!

ok, back to the topic...
My car started to have rattle sounds comming from the suspension a couple weeks after I installed the H&R cup kit (spring and shock set). I took it to the dealer, then they fix it for me for free. Now everything is fine, no more rattle sounds from anywhere..

I cut my eibach spring, wear 19 inch and still using the standard shocks for over 6 months now, beleive it or not it doesn't rattle anywhere . Well i just notice a slight rattle coming from the steering wheel when going over uneven surface, is something wrong with my steering wheel or my shocks is about to go bust?? I can duplicate the noise by bumping the steering wheels with my hand
