94' E320 Rattling sound from engine bay
There's a weird rattling sound coming from the hood of my E320 im guessing it has to do with the belt or belt tensioner...
Does anyone know what im talking about?

The strut/ piston supporting the tensioner.... the bushing in the upper end of the strut deteriorates causing it to rattle....not an emergency job, but you should consider doing it down the road, it is relatively easy....

08 Lexus GS350 AWD. 08 Lexus RX350 AWD - wife's. 94 MBZ E320 - still have it.
My daughter's car just developed this problem. I can see that the upper end of the strut is loose and rattling. Can I find just the rubber bushing anywhere?

You would be way better off getting the one from Autohausaz.com.
Its only $27.27. But if you buy $50 worth of parts you will not have to pay for shipping.
I think the strut is all made into one piece with the rubber connected to each opposing end (screw). With a metal casing around the screw.
