    Rattle on corrugations

    Hi folks,
    I'm getting this rather annoying rattle/vibration over corrugations. It sounds like it's coming from behind or above the speedo/tacho. I thought I'd found the culprit when I installed my Automate, I found the clear plastic front to be a little loose and capable of vibrating, but despite fixing that a vibration noise still occurs. After exposing the speedo unit is it possible to get in behind it to see what's going on?? It sounds like a plastic electrical connection is banging against something. Anyone got any ideas to fix this, other than earplugs??

    Turn the radio up might be easier.

    We went up to Cape York a few months ago and on some of the corrugations could see the entire dash console bouncing up and down with some noises coming from here and there. Not sure anybcar would be immune from some sort of noise or rattle.

      I had a similar rattle .. found it to be aircon pipe rubbing against chassis rail (right hand front drivers side) just bent it up a bit with the bracket .. easy job, removed the air intake off the air cleaner box to get to it easier ...

        Yes, I was wondering whether it may be common or normal for Challengers at least. I ask because my XJ Jeep Cherokee, despite it's may shortcomings compared to the Challenger that replaced it, was surprisingly quiet over corrugations and rough roads.
