Yes, you are correct, it is the weights. Probably one of the worst designs in balancing. IF you go over a speed bump at just the right angle, just under 5mph, the weights will will swing back and forth so hard that they will physically hit the rear bumper(inside the rear bumper).

I have been experiencing a noise from the O/S B pillar that when I go over any bump, drain cover or speed bump there is a dull thud coming from the area of the pillar, but it only seems to happen when the O/S wheels go over the bump, not all 4 wheels.

Probably not the same thing but I found the passenger seat belt buckle is always tapping about the plactic on the pillar. Need to find a way to stop that.! Rob

Wish it was that simple. It happens even when the boss (her that should be obeyed) is in the passenger seat. At first I thought it it was the seat belt assembly inside the pillar beside me, but it is a rather solid clunk when it happens, but it does not sound if its from the back end.Will persevere and see how it goes.

I fixed the plastic rattle fairly easiy. I Bought a sheet of think adhesive felt and cut thin strips to stick between the plastic frame and sliding belt adjuster. If you cut the pieces right you can even see them. Works like a charm. |
