|
|
Hey everyone, I need some advice:
First of all, I'm big idiot- I got my car stuck in sand on the shoulder of a road on vacation last weekend in Bear Lake.
Pushed my car out of said sand (with lots of help) and found out that there were a bunch of rocks sitting on top of the plastic splashguards. When I got home, I took my splashguards off and both of my wheels and cleaned everything up really well.
Here is the problem- I can still hear rock noises when I'm driving slow (1st and 2nd).
It sounds like rocks are bouncing around on some metal or as if they're in my right front wheel.
Any ideas? I'd appreciate anything you guys have got! Thank you! |

| Check in the side skirts. I had a few small rocks get up in there and the rattling transfered directly into the cabin. |

| ^^^ I agree. My sideskirts are chock full 'o pine needles. I don't exactly know how they get in there, but there's a grip of 'em. |
