phillys14 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 97 Impreza Outback, 5 speed, a rattling type noise just started, appears to be more back right, but can't be for sure, the noise seems to go away during acceleration or when clutch is in, generally heard while off of gas, is louder at higher speeds, have never heard this before and having a hard time isolating noise, any ideas would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 the usual underside rattle is a heat shield on the exhaust that becomes loose. Have you checked those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillys14 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't notice it neutral, but also don't really notice it at low speeds either, only higher speeds when off of the gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Checked the heat shield, everything seems to be tightWhich one? There are at least 7. Does it matter if the trans is in gear? Put it in neutral and keep engine speed up, does it still make the noise? What about if you rev the engine up when sitting still?
