Weird Metallic sound.

94vtirozguy · 06-25-2019, 09:17 PM

Got a metal sound coming from what i can ascertain from the passenger side front of the car.

it sounds like two metal pieces hitting each other. Not a grinding sound, but like two metal bars hitting each other.

This only occurs at slow speed. I would say under 10 mph.

Anyone come across this before?. Checked all splash shield, exhaust supports and brackets etc.

Does it only happen on slight bumpy road surfaces or does it also happen on very smooth road surfaces too?

Trans mounts maybe.

It's hard to diagnose a sound thats described in words, a video or sound clip would be incredibly helpful.

doesn't matter what the road surface is. And higher speeds it doesn't exist. Also the brake is not applied when it happens.
