A couple months ago, I pulled away from rest and heard a clunk from the back of the car, it was repeated as I changed gear so I thought it was some unstable cargo sloshing about in the back. After a couple days I emptied out the back of the car and it continued. I then took the seats out. And the interior trim on the right side but still the noise continues. Various friends who've layed on the floor while I drive around say it sounds like a piece of metal flopping back and fourth against metal.
Imagine if you will a peice of steel 2in square by 1/2in thick, now stand it up in the middle of a steel box about 2in long and move sideways fast enough to make the lump fall and hit the side, move the other way so it hits the other side and repeat with all sudden acceleration/decelerations of the car. It does it in first, second and reverse gears or if driving jerkily in any gear. Its an '07 SC standard.
I've stuck my hands fingers into every panel I can get at and I can't find anything. Latest suspect is a box section of chasis just to right of spare wheel well but it only has small holes in so I can't feel around inside more than a finger length. Hmm, I wonder how much an endoscope costs? Seriously, this is driving me (and my passengers) BANANAS! Help. :?
