Rattle problem?

Si ckWitIt · 01-21-2009, 11:01 PM

Im writing this for anybody that has pulled off their bumper or is going to take it off. So I took my bumper off to install my HID's and on the test drive after I heard this loud rattling coming from the front. At first I thought it was one of the panels underneath cuz it sounded like air whooshing and thought that was a good place to look. I ended up pulling the bumper back off twice among other things attempting to fix this rattle. In the end I noticed that the plastic air dam that sits on top of the frame up front( the one you remove to get to the two allen keys holding the bumper on) was put back on wrong. The front has to slide under the bumber and then the back has to slide under the pieces on the fender. Its an easy and silly mistake to make because it goes in a lot easier the wrong way than in the right way.
