Saturn - SL2 :: 2000 - Elusive Brake System Noise

I have about 170k on my Saturn Sl2, but a rebuilt engine with about 80k on it. About 1/3 of the time when I brake, i hear a strange sound that sounds like metal on metal. I think it is coming from the front, possibly from the driver side, but it's hard to tell... I thought it could be a stuck caliper (they were in rough shape anyway) but the sound came back after I replaced them. I also have changed the pads and the rotors. It sounds like a lower pitch version of the sound a leaf spring makes when you drag it across concrete.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1998 4.6L - Engine Rattle When Accelerating

I have a 98 f-150 4.6L 5spd that has a weird rattling noise coming from what sounds like the engine. The noise will only happen when the truck is in gear and under a load. It will not happen if I keep the RPM's low, unless I am going up a hill. When I rev the truck in neutral, the rattling noise isn't there. Also when I'm driving and hear the ratling noise it will go away when i push the clutch in(which im guessing takes the load off) but will come back when i let out on the clutch. Seems to happen most when I'm in gear and trying to accelerate.

Prius C :: Rattle Coming On At Times - Radiator Fan Noise?

Just hit 20k and noticed a "rattle" coming on at times up front, popped the hood as I was changing the oil last night and found that when the fan kicks on it sounds like it's hitting something. With the car off, I spun it by hand both ways and no sound/interference.

Ford Excursion :: Rattle At 55 MPH - Loud Knocking

At 55 I get this rattle that sounds like something loose vibrating off something else, like the downpipe or something, and it sounds to me from the driver seat like it's coming from the passenger side firewall. The passengers sometimes say it sounds like it's coming from the wheel well but I haven't heard it yet from the passenger side. ​​​​​​It's loud. Almost like a knocking. Really only happens at 55. I can't find anything lose. At my wits end.

Ford Excursion :: Vibration When Accelerating From A Stop Up To 40 MPH

I have a noticeable driveline vibration when accelerating from a stop up to 40 m.p.h., after that speed it goes away. I have driven it up to 75 m.p.h. on the highway with no vibrations at that speed. It only does it from 0-40. I have checked the u-joints and driveshaft run-out and all is good. The truck was lifted 6" by the P/O. The pinion angle looks too high to me. (It has 6* shims under the springs).Front u-joint angle is 1/2*, while the rear is 2 1/2* in relation to the driveshaft. If this is the case, wouldn't the vibrations get worse, not better, when speeds increase above 40 m.p.h.? What else to check???

Ford Excursion :: Surging / Smoking After Accelerating

After changing out my tensioner on my 6.0 but not directly about 24 hours later I started getting a surge/power/smoking problem after accelerating. Seems to be no problem at idle. Last night driving from Nj to SC it seemed to do it after I stopped to pee. If I could get it back to 60-65 mph it would run fine but accelerating to there was rough. I change my ebp sensor and thought that solved it but it came back. Unfortunately I couldn't get the sensing line off so that wasn't cleaned.

Unplugged the egr and thought that did it but it ended doing it again. When looking at the dashboss it looks like exhaust pressure goes up and boost goes to zero. What would cause the guide vanes to close is that a defuel or is that just the result of another sensor. It's a late 04 build with ipc on valve cover and ebp sensor at front of engine. Also it seems to happen at higher speeds. Going up and down hills at 75 or even 70 it seemed to do it often. I ran 60-65 between pee stops for hours without a hiccup..

Prius (Gen 2) :: Rattle Noise When Accelerating Mid Throttle

My good ole trusty Prius is still running good, change the oil every month (3000-5000 miles) and still drinks oil and a little over half a quart every 1000 miles.. No big deal. Well over the last 20,000 miles I started to notice this off rattle, noise when accelerating mid throttle mostly when up hill. I thought it may have been the timing chain after changing the water pump, spark plugs and using all sorts of fuel additives, but no change.

After time it's only gotten worse, my works buys my fuel (regular 87) but one day I bought my self a tank of super premium, and hey!!! It sounded great, quiet, powerful.

My question is.. Is this because of a worn timing chain making the knock sensor do this, is this because of carbon in the engine? What should I know? I really need to fix this.

Ford Excursion :: Rattle In Driver Side Front Hub

I have a rattle in my drivers side front hub. I primarily hear it when I hit small bumps. With the hubs locked and in 2wd, the rattle is gone. Could this be just the hubs where replacing them with warn manuals would fix it or is it likely more involved?

Prius (2010-12) :: Engine Slighty Rattle During Accelerating

So lately I've been hearing what sounds like a slight lifter knock that develops at 1500 rpm to 2700 (I have ultragauge) when accelerating or maintain speed, and it only appears when the engine is at operating temp and disappears when rpm is below 1500 rpm and above 2500 rpm my oil is running at 3900 miles using Toyota synt 0W-20 and it looks pretty clean and at high mark of the dip stick.

Currently have 85k miles. About 20k miles ago I noticed when I have the driver window down I would hear a rattle coming from under the car when accelerating. Doesn't happen every time but does quite often. Usually goes away almost immediately. I'm not having any other issues and with my warranty out I'm not anxious for a drip to the dealer.
