Hello everyone,I have a rattling noise coming somewhere under the car (seems like area of the driver's seat) when I starting an engine. It lasts about 5-8 seconds after the ignition is turned on and the go away. I first thought that it coming from the muffler shields but doesn’t seems like the case.Last week I had a sway bar bushing installed and noise went away but it came back again really loud. Have anyone experienced something like that?

Thank you, Viktor

Does it make the noise every time you start the car, or just at a cold start in the morning? I could speculate on the noise all night, but there's really no substitute for getting the car up on a lift or jack stands and then looking for loose stuff... Get a mechanic's sthescope - it looks like a regular one except it has a long metal rod that you can use to isolate things.
