RX8 rattling sound coming from underneath me
Hi everyone I got a 2005 mazda rx8 auto transmission and I hear a loud rattling sound when Im in D and Im at a stop light with my foot on the brake but once I start driving sound goes away until I stop again.
The rattling sound is coming from underneath me.
Any Ideas
Thanks

do you have an aftermarket exhaust? I had the same prob when i got my exhaust was just a hangar rubbing on the rear diff.! Do you have any mods at all done?

Could just be a something as simple as a loose heat shield rattling.
Perhaps this is a noob question, but is there an easy inspection of the motor mounts? I have an 04 MT, and it vibrates like hell at 750-800 rpm, but then its smooth like butter at 1k rpm.
I haven't ridden in enough 8s to know if that is normal or not.

Thanks for the reply
No I do not have any aftermarket parts installed on my rx8 but my vin number is lower that one stated on the TSB if it is a cracked engine mount would mazda cover the repair?

TSBs are not really recalls, they're just common problems released to the dealers so they know how to fix it quickly. Most TSBs were released when the cars still had their bumper to bumper.
Suckers like you and me are S.O.L. when it comes to the TSBs, all we can do is read the TSB and fix it ourselves. Or give the TSB to a shop you trust.
Could still be a lot of different things under there rattling.

I have a similar rattle. It mainly does it at idle. I've heard the noise before in a 240sx I had. It was the heat shield. Let us know what you find out though.

Went to Mazda dealer today found out my warranty has expired in march 08 but anyways the rattling sound has been fixed it was a bent exhaust hanger causing it.
They straightened out the hanger and the vibration is gone thank goodness.
The good news is they didn't charge me. They mentioned that the engine has a misfire but said not to worry about?
