My car has recently developed what sounded like the lock rod rattling around in the driver's door. It only does it at speeds lower than 40 mph and I've been pushing and squeezing everything I can get my grubby hands on. I'm sure folks think I'm crazy bouncing and jiggling the car at stoplights.
Well what I've discovered is that the area where the door latch mechanism is located is generating the soft click-clacks. I can reproduce the sound by swinging the door back and forth. (I've done the same with the passenger door...no click-clack.)
Needless to say I was caught on my knees in the garage with my ear right at that height swinging the door back and forth like a crazy man....geeez. But at least I know where the sound is coming from exactly.
So do I grease it or just slam it shut until it stops? Kidding.
I'll have the techs listen on their knees next week...the things we do because things drive us CRAZY!
