s**t... if my car didnt rattle, id have to break something in it just so it would start rattling again so it would feel normal. A day without rattles in my car is like a day without a hamburger for lunch. It just dont happen too often. As for the bumps, anytime i hit a bump, my car feels and sounds like its about to fall apart... Kinda embarassing when you have other people in the car. But hey, thats the price you pay for the style and class of the car you drive.

Yup. This aint your grandma's crown vic. I dont think there is any c4 that doesnt rattle.

If you can hear the rattles, it means your radio isnt up enough or you dont have a loud enough exhaust. [sm=smiley20.gif]

I hear ya!! I found that many can be found and cured. I had one in the dash. Drove me nuts. Ended up being the intrument cluster. I gave the cover a little extra bend and it's gone. Another common one for me anyways is the hood guide pins need to be lubed or they sqeak. Sounds like it's in the dash but it's undr the hood. As for the rest, Stevie Ray and Bose make em go away!!

It really shouldn't rattle...It can be a sign of a u-joint beginning to wear out. The rattles start creeping up on you and you don't even notice them until it starts to shake at certain speeds and gets progressively worse...u-joint.

There are some little felt pads that go on the windows, you could replace those to help stop the windows rattling.
