Thread: Big Rattle in my '99

  1. #1

    Default Big Rattle in my '99

    Well ever since I got the '99 it had the mean sounding rattle coming from around the glovebox in the dash. It sounded like metal hitting metal, so yesterday I decide to drop the glove box door to see if I can figure out what has come loose.

    As soon as I get the glove box out of the way out falls a metal tire pressure gauge! Rattle Fixed!

    These NB's are so easy to work on!

    Hey General you want your gauge back?

    Man, rattles! You bought a real lemon!

    Now part out your car, I'll give you $5 for the shocks.

    YES I have been meaning to call you about the gage. I keep forgetting about it. It only happened once before. I guess the car stops good with Hoosiers on. I never had it rattle before. No hurry on the gage. New car tires only go up to 14psi so I have to get a new gage anyway.

    Sorry about that chief.

    Garcia is going to fabricate a new part hopefully. That is if we can ever get the old part off. Right now my goal is the ER double header.

    And to answer your other questions. 42 Front and 40 Rear. Full soft in the rear and maybe 1/2 turn from full on the front. Bus lot starting point.

    Enjoy the high HP CS class.

    Sure. 35/32 f/r, shocks on 3 front and rear. Works for me, anyway.
