SiColin Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 I been having a problem with this strange rattling noise from under my 94 civic ex. I have just figured out that it was the heat sheld over the cat converter. I got under my car and tightened up the bolts holding it in place. That didnt help at all cause it still rattles a lot. I was wondering if i could just take it all the way off and run with no heat sheld above the converter. Or is there a way to get it from not rattling so much.

Berto Posted May 10, 2003 Report Share Posted May 10, 2003 what i did on my accord was get a couple hose clamps and wrap them around the heatshield and i boud the heat shielt to the cat. on my corolla i just crabbed a screw driver and bent the shield out of the way :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
