    Rattling noise when ac is on

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    When I turn my AC on there is a loud rattle near the engine. If I were to stand in front of my car I could actually see my front bumper shake. I've read some threads say it could be the AC fan but I can't seem to find a part number. The rattling is very loud and pronounced (again, to the extent I can see the front bumper shake). Is this a common issue?

    Check the metal mount that connects the exhaust/cat to trans. Check if it's not loose. That can vibrate.

    Can you be specific? The noise seems to be coming from towards the front of the car and not near the transmission area.
