Golf ***** get outta my trunk!
Hey guys, I've been trying to pin point this golf ball rattle i hear from my passenger rear side of my car. I though it was the sway bar end links wearing out, so i changed those along with a pair of new rear struts as they were leaking.
No Bueno! i was still getting the that rattles when i drove on bumpy roads. I then though it was the sway bar bushings going out on me so i took the sway bar off to eliminate it all together.....WRONG AGAIN.
Ok, it must be something behind the bumper right? before i start pulling the bumper clips my spider man senses zoned in on the passenger rear wheel caliper that i had changed 6 months ago due to a rusted guide pin that i acquire while i was living in snow country New York.
I began rocking the caliper and to my surprise the damn thing was moving very loosely.
TIME FOR SOME MAINTENANCE
Turned out that the lower guide pin on the 6 month old caliper was loose.
cleaned it up and tighten it with an Allen key applied some crc brake grease,
installed new brake pads and hardware and that took care of that damn rattling.
YAAAAAAY
