[V8] Replacement Battery and strange rumbling

[Eric Langheinrich]

Ingo,

I know that wasn't the best description. Sorry about that. Anyway, took a 
ride in the back seat today. To me it sounds as if there is something loose. 
Almost like something barely hitting the underside of the car. The noise is 
definitely more present after hitting a bump. Under normal driving the sound 
will come and go.

Not exactly sure how to describe the noise aside from what you would expect 
to hear if something was rotating and hitting something (bang bang bang bang 
bang), although much less pronounced.

>From my ride, I wasn't able to completely isolate the sound, but it is 
either right under the floorboard behind the driver seat (center to left) or 
from the left rear wheel area. I'm leaning more towards under the floor 
behind the drivers seat.

Any ideas on what to check would be greatly appreciated.
