Hi, I have a Nissan 230JK Teana 2007. Recently, I have noticed there were some rattling noises when going over uneven road. I took the car to my mechanic and was told the hose bracket connecting to the radiator was not securely attached and the both sides of the screws that were holding the radiator were broken as well. Had them all replaced but the problem still doesn't seem to completely going away. Sometime, when i shut the door from the driver or the passenger sides, I could easily hear some rattling noise as well. I believe the mechanic did check the suspensions and no problem from there. Where could the rattling noise be coming from? Thanks.

Any component that is loose could cause a rattle, so it's impossible to guess what that might be. I'd suggest taking the car back to your mechanic and demonstrating the noise. If the noise is evident when you shut the door, demonstrate that to your mechanic too, as he may be listenning to something different to the noise that concerns you.

Thank you for your reply. I think I will take the car to AA Auto Service & Repair to see if the technician there can locate the problem.
