OK, so, in the garage I can hear a faint rattle coming from under the truck. mbeach suggested this might be a loose or corroded heat shield. I plan to look at this soon.

I also notice, that when I go over bumps (like a speed bump or nasty crack in the dilapidated concrete) I can here another sound coming from what I believe to be the driver's side rear end. It just sounds like something knocking around....something loose or something. The suspension feels tight but I am still wondering what the heck this is. Any ideas?

I am going to head over to my friends shop soon and get down on the creeper and look around, but if anyone has any pointers of what to look for, that would be great, as I am still a noob VX owner and a wannabe gear head.


Thanks - Bart
