JAMAS' noises o' the day‏

[JAMAS]

jamas- i think your estimation is correct on the popping noise...trim a little more off the cladding and your problems will be solved there

Do many people trim the cladding on the rear of the wheel well? I am pretty sure that is where the contact was made. Although, I have been wrong before.

also, with the rattling, check your exhaust touching near the rear axle, i know mine hits the rear axle sometime at idle and cruising speed

I will check out the rear axle, but I swear its coming from the area of the "TOD" stamped heat shield. However, I will definitely check though because weirder things have been the cause of noises before.
