Where are these located? I have the same issue on my QX4 for the past 50k miles. I thought it was the rear glass/windshield strut holders that are noisy.
There's supposed to be two on the rear door. Each mounted at the bottom left and bottom right. If you just see a 1/4" hole you'll know they're missing.
I checked and those hard rubber stops are there. The lift gate rubber seal appears to be in decent shape. Also the struts are firm and nothing shakes there. Not sure what to check next, short of taking off lift gate liner and see if something inside the locking mechanism is shaky.
Sure, but could you be a little bit more specific, where do these nuts sit? I've never done anything with shocks, the reason this sounds like Latin;)
Actually, I have yet to resolve this noise issue. I'll check the resonator damper bracket. Thanks for ideas.mdmellott wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 12:50 pmJust remembered something from more than five years back when my dynamic damper weight was making a rattling noise. This damper weight is mounted on the rear exhaust resonator. The bracket which mounts this part to the pipe is welded in place but the rusty weld was breaking loose and causing the rattle noise. I grabbed the damper and broke it off from the pipe which eliminated the rattle noise. I held onto the damper all this time and finally reused it on a new exhaust system I just installed which had the same mounting bracket. By now, you may have already figured out what was causing the noise. If not, check out the weld integrity of this damper bracket.
