Fixing my rattle can

BrandonxSD · February 2nd, 2009, 01:01 AM

I've been working on my '67 Mustang for about the past 6 months and now it's in drivable condition for the most part. Now that I'm driving it I realize how noisy it is inside with everything shaking. The three main things are the windows, the components inside the door shake like crazy, the doors them selves and the shifter (when I'm not holding it). So I was wondering what to do to fix the rattle.

The whole car shakes a bit at higher speeds, I think the rims are bent a little but I also want to get new suspension because I don't think its ever been replaced. What should I do to get a smoother ride?

Here are some pics.

the shifter rattle could be a universal or clutch and trans problem.

As far as the doors rattling, you'll have to pull the inside door skin and see whats loose. It sounds like the window track is loose. as far as the shifter, look at the rear trans mount, and your engine mounts.

You might replace the weather striping, will stop alot of the rattles.

Your car is 42 years old and will always have rattles if you drive it on a regular basis. That's the nature of the beast.
