Rattle

Have a reoccuring rattle in mine.Turns out it is a loose fitting brake pad.They have a shim kit for that which seems to require new pads,but it keeps returning.SUCKS!!!!! Nobody on here seems to suffer this or has any permanent fixes for this.

It could be an exhaust hanger. I was getting a lot of noise from the rear and was going to change out my struts. But then I got under my car, shook the hell out of my exhaust and knew there was the problem. The guy I took it to said it was a common problem with Max's.
