I have a '98 and '94 Celica GT. I bought the '94 2 years ago and it had a slight rattle which comes from the back area. It has gotten worse lately and even though it sounds like it's coming from inside, I can't find what is causing it. My '98 has started with the same sound just recently. I've had the suspension and under side of both cars checked by my mechanic. All is in order underneath with nothing loose. The suspension and exhaust systems on both cars are solid. Has anyone had a similar problem and found the cause/solution?
Thanks in advance. My wife's '94 is starting to make the same noise. Her car is a GT coupe with only 64,000 miles on it. It is not as loud or noticeable as mine is. This post has been edited by lingham: Jan 17, 2011 - 12:23 PM --------------------  |

my 94 gt hatchback is doing it now. its the rear strut assembly. when the rubber seal ruptures you lose all your fluid in your shock and it rattles like its about to fall off and a lot of mechanics dont test properly for a dry shock. go to the back of your car and bounce it up and down a bit, get it really bouncing, and then just back away. if it immediately stops then your struts are fine and you have some other problem but if it keeps bouncing you have dry struts. most autozones have bilstein rear struts for around 150... and they are worth it a friend put the bilsteins on his car and the rattling stopped. when i can afford it im doing the same
-------------------- I went full retard once, too. Its OK.
