Interior vibrations

[silver_ION_black]

I moved to new york and as you all know of the bad streets, my car started to vibrate slightly and as the driving on unavoidable potholes seems to get worse. How can I find out where the annoying vibration is? Im not exactly a skilled mechanic or body shop expert but I dont want to pay alot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to fix this annoyance.

were exactly is the rattle.. in or out... driver or passenger... front or back..

[djgeo05]

my whole car rattles when my bass hits...
if it helps check loost change, loose screws, anything in your glove compartment that might shake when you hit the potholes. thats a good way i keep my car clean so it wont vibrate as much

[linefire]

the only rattle in my car is the rear deck... were the 6 1/2 are mounted... its gonna get dropped out glassed painted and reinserted to solve the problem.

hmmm recently my dash on the passanger side starting making a vibrating sound that i dont remeber being there before, neone know what to check?

[slowion2]

it is very common for ANY saturn to rattle on a rough road, just food for thought.

I hear they put this Vibration Dampening Adjustment Knob on all Saturns to fix the noises....... mine seems to be on the radio.... works like a charm

LOL I like that one, Vibration Dampening Adjustment Knob...I know with my coupe, the rear LATCH Sytem coevers have been rattling, but thats with the 2 12" Kenwoods Hitting hard. Other than that also on the rear side, check your third brakelight, sometimes the insullation pops off and can cause the platic to connect with the glass. Also, the front dash can rattle as well simply because its so many damn plastic pieces. I'd also reccomend a couple tiny sheets of Sound deadening around your speakers, might help a bit if theyre moving around a bit. Also, like it was said above, check your screws and bolts. When it comes out from the factory, everythings nice and tight. After a couple years or months, things start to loosen up.

If ya need any help man, gimme a call or PM me for my PH #.

ok and check this out, my car battery keeps dying, SATURN shop says its because of my Amps Im like its been there for 2 years and now its doing this. What you guys think [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif[/img]

[TBone]

Is your amp on all the time or does it turn off when you turn the car itself off? I know it should be hooked up to the Pink wire, at least on the '03's. New Harness in '04+.

[silver_ION_black]

its off when i turn off the car. I dunno I know nothing of systems let me know of a hookup that can rewire my car possibly this weekend? Im tired of wires all out and around my trunk, it was ghetto hoooked up.

[TBone]

Cant be the Amp then, if its not drawing power from the battery. Anything else aftermarket on the car? Alternator check out? Bring it to Autozone and see if you can get one of the free charging system tests. Might help to diagnose the problem.

actually, it coiudl be the amp. you could have been stressing your car's charging system for the past 2 years and it finally decided to quit on you.
