Re: I just avoided a catastrophe

Call me compulsive if you like (I am) but I freak out about rattles and such and will not let it go. Sometimes, like in your case, it's warranted. My worst cases were shock studs, a loose rear brake shoe...stuff that wouldn't kill me.... No joke, I once tore my whole dash apart only to later discover the cowl was chirping on the back edge of the hood. Oh, and the time I got mad and pulled off the whole door to later discover the seat adjustment mechanisim was lacking a tension spring. But let's face it, rattles and squeaks are often a sign of a problem waiting to happen, and they can be hard to locate. Glad you found that one when you did.
