Rattling noise during accel - 99 SLE V6
Hello,
I'm new to this site (1st post) so I hope this is the right forum for my question.
My 1999 Solara SLE V6 recently developed a rattle underneath the driver's side. It only seems to happen when I accellerate or let up off of the gas pedal (throttle?). I think it also happens when I take left turns and not right turns but I can't be sure. A friend listened to it and he thinks it could be a loose part of the muffler or exhaust system. I've seen other posts here that suggest it might be a busted shock. Has anyone else seen and/or fixed this problem? Are there any TSBs out that directly address this issue (I couldn't locate any)?
The car has 76,000 miles on it and is well maintained. It hasn't yet been to it's 75,000 mile service but I will do that in about 2 weeks. If I can't resolve it myself I'll ask them to check it out.
Thanks for any help and/or advice.
Peter
