Just a small problem I'd like to fix myself if possible.

So when driving sometimes, there will be a vibration and a little bit of a rattle, also under my vehicle. It's usually when I stop at a red light and only last I'd say any where from 3-8 Seconds..

What could the problem possibly be and how could I fix it?

Edit: Could this vibration noise possibly be coming from the Heat Shields on the Cat converter/Exhaust?


Any help is appreciated!


Thank you!
 






Slide right under there and start moving stuff around. It could very well be the heat shields. They're easy enough to check.

Thanks, I will do tommrow afternoon, I'll keep you updated.


In the mean while, anymore suggestions?
 






Heat shield on the factory muffler drove me nuts. Check the exhaust thoroughly, make sure the spare is snug, did I mention exhaust? Close clearances under there all the way back. Start shaking.
