djw11 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi, 2011 Journey R/T AWD On my recent trip , I was cruising at 120kms or higher, we noticed a low pitch vibration type of noise appearing to coming from the right side, if I slowed down to 100km or lower the noise disappears. To me it sounds like something under the car that is exposed gets wind vibrating at this higher speed. l looked the the plastic R wheel inner shield , nothing seems out of place, although there is some play around mounting points of the shield, I also noticed there also another “L” shaped plastic shield attached by 2 bolts and appears to cover the lower flywheel area. This piece is quite flimsy and has lots of movement, also there 2 holes on the bottom end that look like for attachment but appears no area to attach? Just looking for ideas, or other members having similar noise. Pic of shield attached. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 120 Kilometers per Hour = 74.564543........ well you could reinforce it BUT i doubt that is the problem, most of the time when i noticed plastic parts making a noise it is more of a loud banging noise, I personally havent experienced the noise you are talking about,,, BUT i have also wondered about all the plastic fender well panels in all 4 areas being attached with just filmise push buttons, seems like they could make a lot of road noise while traveling down the road.

djw11 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the reply and insight, maybe I will try to improve on the wheel well attachment points and see if that does anything! Ps: yup 120km is 75mph, we have the metric system here in Canada!!, lol Edited October 12, 2022 by djw11 Add comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I have had the exhaust heat shields under car start to come loose and rattle. One even rubbed on drive shaft. Made of almost pie plate thick foil, so larger washers and extra screws had to be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djw11 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi John, did have my heat shield come loose a couple yrs ago, makes a hell of rattle noise at highway speeds. I did repair it, but probably good to have a look on its current state. Thanks for reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
