Hey guys I am in need of your help. I have had a rattle under my car for quite a while it makes more of a noise and rattle when changing gear. It's a manual btw. But tonight driving home mainly when I am in 3rd and 4th and put a bit of throttle the whole car just rattle like mad. But when taking the throttle off it seemed to stop or atleast not rattle as much. I have no idea what it is someone please have a suggestion what it is. Thanks

Sounds like could be U/J's on the prop/s. Have you already checked anything.....any other clues?

Yeah I have checked the rubber donut. And seems to be all right. I just driven to the shop. And the shacking only seems to be really bad between 30 and 40

I had the same on my last one mate. Mine was a worn uj on the front prop. Just get underneath and see if there's any play in ujs. Should be pretty stiff. If sloppy then there's ya problem.

I had a little rattling from under the car and it turned out to be the exhaust clamp was loose.

Very easy to check.
