Chasing a Rattle......CSX 6000

Check pinion angle, check driveshaft U joints for binding........Both will need to be done on a drive on, four post lift so that suspension is still compressed as if the car was on the road.

Check the aluminum panels, the rear bulkhead and the inner rear splash panels around the fuel tank.

Also check the clutch fork, depending on what setup you have (external slave with fork) the fork can rattle against the main frame rail if not setup correctly.

The rear bulkhead was the one rattle that I found quickly and easily. While driving I just put my hand on it and the rattle went away. Ultimately I installed carpet in the trunk and the noise disappeared.
