2006 Monte Carlo LT 3.5l

Warranty is up and I found this place....

Let me tell you... The dash rattles andthe front end clunks.. Replacing a Bad Tie Rod made the clunkgo away for about 4 months.

Very Dependable car but very noisy.. [&:]

Here is what work I have had done to this car..

Tie Rod
Power Steering Hose
Oil Pan Gasket
Seat Lever

Not too bad I guess...

I plan on keeping the car pretty much stock.. Well if something breaks I may go with something that surpasses OEM..

Thanks!!
Jeff

Jeff, around here, we just turn up our stereos real loud, and drive real fast with the windows down to make the rattling disappear!

Welcome to MCF!

Welcome Jeff.

Sorry to hear you're having rattle issues with your '06 Monte. Sounds like you like to drive it.

Say don't forget to post pics of it for us.

Welcome to the MCF Jeff!

Turning my stereo up loud is what caused a few of the rattles in my car. That, and the pot holes.

Welcome Jeff to the MC Forum. Sorry to hear about your rattles. Hope they get fixed. This my 3rd Monte, 2nd, an '01 SS LE had 116,000mi and no rattles or squeaks, nor does this '04 Intimidator SS at just over 60,000 mi. ROCK solid cars, in my opinion, and safe. I totalled 2 Impalas, then started driving the 2 door version.

Hi `Jeff, & Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family.
Sorry to read that you got rattles.
You stated in your post that your Monte is out of warranty.
How many miles are on your Monte ?
Are you the first owner ?
Was it a rental Monte Carlo ?
I sure hope that the MCF can assist in helping you resolve
your problems with your Monte Carlo.
What color is yours ? (Pic's please ; ) What equipment.
Look forward to your future posts, with great reviews
on how great your Monte has become since you've join the MCF : ).
Good Luck, `Space
