H3 rattle behind passanger tire???

[spillKill]

so after having my H3 for about 9months with some trails thrown in and some mud pits I have noticed that when I crank up the engine I hear a rattle from behind the passenger front wheel and also when ever I close my door I hear it. Im thinking that something is just loose but when I got under her and had my wife open and close the door I could hear the rattle but didn't see anything. Anybody have any suggestions on what it might be? :huh:

Check the bolt heads on your exhaust manifold, might be a leak. Had one of mine shear off and it sounded "rattley"

Loose skid plate. Double check the tightness on the five crossmember bolts. Rocks in the frame or crossmembers. Loose exhaust bolt.

So I found the problem, looks like an armadillo shell lol what is it?

Looks like a heat shield. Where did you pull it from?

Well it was laying on the drive shaft haha but I guess it is a bottom heat shield for the exhaust?
