Rattle below engine S70

posted by  someone claiming to be JC on  Sun May 25 16:53 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Thanks for the info.
It's not the brakes. Checked, and also just changed front disc and pads just a few months ago.
Also the upper torque mount bushing was found to be cracked and torque rod upper was replaced just a few months ago.
I fooled around with it just now and a strange noise sounds when I push the car down on the front right side (when the car bounces back). I opened the hood and did it again. There is a LOUD rattle noise comming from what appears to be the washer fluid resevoir. Almost like someone threw a big coin down there and it swooshes and hits the sides or something. I see there is a mesh filter a few inches down the pipe, so something internally is loose in the tank I think. The low annunciator light works properly though. Anyone else have this problem?
Maybe thats not even it. Can somebody try this at there leisure and see if the tank makes a lot of noise when pushing rapidly on the hood? Not just fluid swooshing but a definate banging around sound.

Pfew,
Hopefully thats it. The noise is almost embarrasing when driving clients around.

Thanks
