  • heat shield??s

    Ok, Ive got a rattling thats progressively worsening. Its somewhere up front and sounds worse when I turn on the A/C. From what I understand its probably the heat shield comming loose. Only thing is I have NO idea where it is AND what to tighten and look for *doh*. So let a brotha know. Grats.

    I heard a rattling coming from the rear of my car, thought it was my muffler but ended up being the heat shield. Maybe your Cat?

        I have the same thing you are describing and it is the shield around the cat. (Large bulbus thing about mid line in your exhaust) I have not messed with mine as of yet but as far as I know the only way to fix it is to removeit or take it to a shop and have it rewelded. Hope that this helps.

          Simply look under your car and follow from the y-pipe all the way back to the muffler looking for a small aluminum sheet (heat shield) touching your exhaust components...or near your exhasut components. At that point, when you find it, take a pair of pliers and bend the part touching out of the way.

              Might be the perforated shield on the CAT too. That will also come off with a little work. I had this same problem on my '88 and '98.

              Just don't park over anything that may catch on fire after you remove it.
