I am wondering if anyone else with a coupe has had this problem and discovered the cause, or if anyone may have any ideas as to what this could be? This happens whenever a small road bump or hick-up is driven over and when turning in either direction. Thinking back, I remember hearing just a little bit of this on rare occasions when I first bought the car and figured that it was nominal and was the trade off for the stiff suspension. It appears to be progressing as though some nuts or bolts are getting loose. Does anyone know what and where any nuts or bolts may be hidden back there that can be looked for and if loose, can be tightened? I am sure I could "try" and explain this to the dealer, but you know how that could go with them either not hearing the "rattle" problem or unable to determine the problem after having the car for several days! Anyway, just though I would ask if anyone has had this problem since this forum has been so helpful with information!
