#1: Rattles from back end. Droplinks? Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:26 pm ---- I've had a rattling noise in the back of my car for a while now. It only seems to make it whilst going slowly over uneven roads.
Ive had 2 garages look at it, but neither could locate the probem.
One thought it was the fuel tank heat shield, which proved to be wrong.
The next garage suspected the rear track control arms, but isnt sure.
They seem to be very mobile. I have no idea if they're meant to move or not? At £300 to replace them, I don't fancy doing it unless I actually need to.
Next up, I took my car to peugeot today, and they said the droplinks often wear out and make a rattling noise in 180's, and is inexpensive to repair.
Does this seem familiar to anyone? I may have them looked at independantly ASAP.

I love how the dealership for the car are the people who know the least.. That's great!
And Edward were you referring to the bootlid in that last post?
Thanks for the tips guys! I'll check it out. the bootlid seems secure enough when I checked (just wiggling by hand) but I'll give it a more thorough look.
