5000 - Low Frequency Rattle Solved

["Mark Pollan" <Mark.Pollan@MCI.Com>]

All:

This weekend I solved a nagging source of irritation with my '86 5KCSTQ
that I thought I'd pass on.

For several months I've had a low rattling coming from the right rear
quadrant of my car.  Checked a bunch of things and to make a long story
short it turned out that the bracket for holding the battery down had
loosened up.  3/4 of a turn on the bolt and voila, no more rattle.

I hope that this will help at least on person out there get rid of
a pesky rattle.  This drove me, and me in turn my wife, absolutely
ape sh*t.
