Customers complain about a rattle that can be heard from the rear shelf area. Do not confuse this with worn upper strut mounts. The probable cause is the dynamic damper does not fit tightly against the rear shelf.

Corrective Action

Install washers between the dynamic damper and the rear shelf. 

Repair Procedure

1. Remove the rear shelf trim.

2. Remove the dynamic damper.

3. Install two 6 mm washers between the dynamic damper bracket and the rear shelf.

4. Reinstall the dynamic damper and the rear shelf trim.
