I've owned my MO for about 8 months now. I have the 03 SE with NAV and all options.

Here's my problem.

A few months back I noticed a "rattle" of sorts emanting form the rear suspension area when driving over bumpy roads/train tracks/speed bumps etc.

I know there was a thread on this site concerning this issue and using "chasis ears" could help locate the problem..I can't locate this topic

I've had 2 dealers look at this but they cannot replicate or locate this noise.

Can someone point me to the discussion on this issue or let me know if they had this problem and were able to identify it?

I need to go to the dealer for the 12000kms oil change and would like to rectify as the weather outside is improving and driving with the window down just makes it really noticeable.

I will print all the threads and provide them to the service department.


Thanks

I had this problem and it was fixed in two hours under the TSB. I would print the TSB out and take it to the service dept. Once they fixed it it was solid as a rock.

Here's the thread I started with a link to the TSB.
