I drove over a road the other day that was being mid built and it didnt have a change of speed limit or anything warning me and so it went from an 80k zone to a bumpy as f**k road and as a result ive got little stones/pebbles lodged under my car somewhere.
it sounds like its on the drivers side, you can hear them move around and rattle when im going 0-40k's. cant hear it when i break and cant hear it when i reverse. only in light acceleration. any ideas? really getting on my nerves |

maybe up in the side skirts, dose it sound like they are rolling on metal or plastic?

its hard to say really where its coming from, good idea though thinking of the body kit. i'll have a look in there tomorrow. but they're fibreglass and it sounds like its a metal material. as its only on slight acceleration id say its under the hood somewhere right?

check in behind the the plastic inner wheel shroud. You may need to pull the wheel off to get full access to the shroud.
Its a typical place for the to collect smaller stones.

As Johnson mentioned, maybe up under the plastic guard pieces and into the frame? Is it like its under the car? I'm assuming yes with my ideas..

I'm assuming yes with my ideas.. its a rattle sound, almost like a purr? coming from the drivers side, underneath somewhere. only started happening after that incident. just a list of places to check tomrorrow would be cool |

Sounds like a potentially head bashingly annoying problem lol. do you know anyone you can borrow a hoist to have a good look under it? save snaking around looking, you can get better angles to see things too.. either way Id check the places mentioned already...

I'm trying to think of what would be good to use, but maybe spraying some contact adhesive or something in the holes under there and going for a drive might get them to stick to it and stop moving around?
maybe even some sharp braking might throw them into a crevice and make them stop moving...

No. Not unless you have holes in your exhaust..
Give ya exhaust a shake, and/or hit the muffler.. perhaps your muffler has dropped its guts. . If you think its your exhaust..

It's the tray that's just underneath the engine, has little rocks stuck in it. Connects the engine to the exhaust. When I grab it the noise stops, when I let go it happens again |
