Has anyone created a Register for Rattles & any suggested fixes?
OK Ffoxy, I have moved this into problems and issues for you and your generic advice forms the first parts of the post, now it is up to the members who have had rattles/squeaks/clonks and groans to post their problem and the solution if one found. :D
I have to say though that despite you thinking this is a major "fault" with the i30 that the fact folks can only find a glovebox rattle as a downside indicates in general that the i30 excels in the other areas leaving the human mind (which has to moan about something) feeling a bit left out so we concentrate on finding that something :razz:
and even tictacs in the console rattling around. :lol:Has anyone created a Register for Rattles & any suggested fixes?
Not on this forum they haven't.
Yet :D
What would you suggest as an index to the register? Sounds like a fine idea though I suspect it will be very subjective; we've had members reporting "jingle noises" at the passenger compartment whilst driving, just for their passenger to report the same sound from a different area of the cabin, just to find out it was loose sunnies in the overhead dropdown :rolleyes: :lol:
Give it a go - start a thread off

Now keeping to the subject, my i30 has always had a "buzz" at about 30mph, from the empty glovebox area......, seems most of them have.
Someone did post a fix (Some lugs in the firewall under the dash I think)Thanks, I'll start there.
the glovebox buzzCouldn't you introduce this as a new dance, at your classes :lol: :lol:

Interior rattles / buzzes / squeaks
Front end knocks / clonks
Rear end creaks / groans
Then when a new source of irritation comes along, a new topic can be started with members own experiences of how they detected it, what any passengers they carried thought of it, and the resolution if one was found :D
Isn't that what happens now anyway
Who's the Top Mod then... show us the skills! :idea:
to have a subforum e.g PROBLEMS & ISSUES / RATTLE REGISTER is better in the regards that every thread will relate clearly to it, but i think would not get enough traffic to warrant it.
Oh.. and we need a section to talk about the rattle section we are going to have... :rolleyes:
Changed both last night after dinner and my rattles have gone! :mrgreen:Take any "how to" pics, or any pics of the worn ones? Shame on you :P

Great news that it's sorted. Quite cheaply too by the sound of it. I'm guessing you bought them off eBay seller "eemotorspares".

Not into the Olympics then.....
Or was this a new Olympic sport - Drop Link Snatch - and you won Gold...
Changed both [drop links] last night after dinner and my rattles have gone! :mrgreen:

Time to get mine inspected I think, though I'm not sure whether the problem is at the rear or front. Sure sounds like something's loose in my boot, but the clunking sound travels all along the nearside when driving slowly.
Can you tell just by looking underneath which drop links need replacing? Are they under pressure while resting or can I grab them and shake to test the wear? It's dark and damp here so no chance of looking tonight. I'm guessing the rear drop links look the same as the front drop links...?
Thanks Keith. I guess using a trolley jack under the chassis isn't going to relieve the stress to make removal easier.
