Re: [Chrysler300] G vibration/grinding noise in rear

[Brandt Jimerson <brandt300g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to Mark & all!
 
Yes Mark your right! I just got back from where Melissa was and the Dave from the other place remembers my exhaust pipes being a problem! Dumb me! What is really cool is that Dave from a 'little farther down Valley Center Road', specializes in Mufflers. After all, he is 'Valley Center Muffler'!!! Okay, enough.....he said my situation is about a half days work. I believe him because he explained to me that a pipe 'down at this section', cannot be fixed until, 'this other section of pipe', is fixed or moved away from frame, cross members, rear axle housing, etc.. ... Well, I'll be keeping you all informed. Thanks again Mark!! ;-D
 
Sincerely & 300ly, Brandt H J w/ a G.

Brandt,
My guess is that your exhaust pipe is too close to something else underneath the car. Check you clearance between the pipes and tranny, crossmembers, driveshaft, shocks, gas tank, etc. My rule-of-thumb is if I can put a finger between the pipes and other surfaces, it's good to go. If not, when you "get on it" the flex of the driveline could close a gap and cause a vibration or rattle.

Hello to all in 300sville!

ell, I finish brakes (doing them myself...successfully), then get the posi in 
ear (thanks Jeff, successful) except one wheel drags a little on full 
cceleration when first taking off, going around a corner. Is that normal!? 
. And now folks, the latest problem! Melissa is vibrating intermittenly (ugh), 
hen in both (D) drive and (N) nuetral and it sounds like it is coming from the 
ear. However, I'll bet my trans and/or engine mounts are gone and the engine 
unning is vibrating metal to metal and 'shooting the sound back to the rear'! I 
ad her make the noise again this time in nuetral so I set the parking brake, 
ent down along ground and listened, crawled along rear right around corner to 
assenger side where the rattling, clanking seemed more apparent in noise around 
he tranny/engine area. Is my theory perhaps correct here? Suggestions? Thanks 
ons in advane!!

incerely & 300ly, Brandt H J w/ a G.
