[urq] Shaking in the rain - 87 5ktq

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Yup.  Check your heatshielding between the cat/driveshaft and  underbody.
They loosen up over time and if there's enough of a space, water will find
it's way in, making it droop further down until it hits whatever is
underneath.  If you find tears around the mounting points and don't have
suitable washers, you can always punch a hole in a bottle cap to improvise.
