Gen 1 (2012) making odd "clatter/rattle over rough pavement (video)

[hwycycle]

I’m going to say something in the suspension or a mount (trans/motor). With either scenario, the weight of the bad component is greater than the force you’re applying. I’ve found a multiple issues using a GoPro mounted under the vehicle.

The IWE can make some odd intermittent grinding and/or metallic sounds when it’s going it. See if the sound is any different with 4-High engaged vs. not. I chased a sound for a while and it was my IWE partially failed which made the hub lock/unlock partially and grind the teeth down.

Sure sounds like an exhaust system noise. Very funny so probably not anything serious. Check catalytic converter also. Please follow up when you find the source. I noticed your name is William Perry. I had to laugh because I know William (The Fridge) Perry from Aiken, SC.

x2 on the IWE, mine did the exact same noise. It was a failing actuator, was it cold outside? I found that made it worse

Had a similar noise on my 13 drove me nuts forever. Figured out when I was rotating the tires one of the dust Shields for my front brakes had broken loose maybe something to check also

I hadn't even thought about that one, good call, will add that to the list

HAHA, when he was playing I had a job where my name came up alot and I used to hear that constantly, I'd tell everyone, "yeah, he's the fridge, I'm more the thermos"

It sounds exactly like it would if it was the exhaust, but that all seems ok

It does go into 4 high and low and doesn't affect the noise as I would think it would if that were the case, but will be checking both of those out this week

Sounds like you have a couple of rattles. One closer to the mic and one farther. Is the closer one your keys? The more prominent rattle sounds similar to what I had in my 2012. Ended up being the front shock. Replaced with the new Fox 3.0 and my rattle was gone.

Ha yeah the keys are the other "clatter" you are hearing. I couldn't get the phone any further away from them. Someone else suggested a cracked coil. The suspension seems like a likely candidate and wouldn't be found by me banging on it

 

[William S Perry]

it could be a number of things. a ball joint, loose control arm, (upper or lower.) sway bar end, sway bar bushings.

We looked at all that a couple weeks ago while on the lift, all seemed good there.

Agreed on all that. Thought about fastening my phone underneath (SECURELY).
