Here is a straight forward thread on how to FIX the jk rattle:D:D

As you can see here, this broken weld which holds the heatshield on the crossover

better look at the break

and the way i fixed it, was i just stuck a washer between there and its not going to rattle house because where the weld broke there is a notch of weld sticking out which will hold the washer in place along with the pressure from the heat shild

Now this is for the people that cant weld, but if you can i would recomend it

True but it's nice to know what it is..my d rings exhaust and intake a familiar noices..I hated this one because every time I drove threw a parking lot it was supper load and people around me probably thought my rig was falling apart...very happy about this write up..sure I'm under my rig all the time but until this I always missed it

Great write up, I developed the "rattle" about 2 weeks out of nowhere, and just like a patient that has a cold but thinks he may have cancer, I was wondering if it was my driveshafts, but after reading this write up, I went for a look under the Jeep and as sure as there's shit in a cat, there is was, the exact same weld!! So weld ... enjoy your noise :thefinger: for when I get home from work I will clamp your ass shut!!

Thanks a million:beer:

I had a pretty good idea what it was, just no clue where it was. Figured I would look here to see if there was a usual suspect and whatdayaknow! All 3 welds were broken on mine, couple hose clamps and it's quiet as can be. Thanks guys.

Thanks for posting this. My Jeep started rattling this morning. I figured it was heat sheild because I've had them come loose in the past on other vehicles, however, when I climbed under my Jeep today all the heat sheilds were tight. The only clue where the rattle was coming from was a small thin metal band hanging around the exhaust. I had no clue what it was until I saw your pic. THANK YOU!
