I got some very aNnOyInG rattling going on from the back of my JK.. I took it to the dealer once and they said it was my rear window shocks. So they replaced them and well...it didn't solve the rattle... I was hoping that someone else has had this problem and new how to fix it.. Sounds like it's coming from the latch of the rear gate IMO... Anyone?

 

my whole jeep shake and rattles lol i think you pay extra for all the JEEP noises lol

 

ha! I agree and I can handle the cracks and pops, but this is a pretty loud rattle. Sounds like something might be loose...

 

whe i first got mine the bolts in the a pillar on the driverside were missing and it sounded like the thing was falling apart

 

Mine was rattling pretty bad. They determined that the latch wasn't adjusted right and made a tweak. It helped but was still doing it occasionally. I haven't noticed it lately but maybe I got used to it!!

 

My rear stiker plate needed adjusted. Before, it sounded like a whole bunch of loose crap rolling around in the back. Now I just have to deal with my leaky top and wipers that dont work

 

I had a nice rattle in the rear gate area that turned out to be the spare tire nuts getting a little loose.
They passed the tire shake test but getting out a wrench confirmed it.

 

I checked it out this weekend and found that it was the black plate below the door latch. I did some adjusting and it hasn't made sound since. I'm going to head up to the dealer to get a new one installed. Thanks guys!

 

Originally i didnt have a problem with noises but recently i wired my CB and i have been getting noise that quite annoying back there. i think its just the coac cables in the tailgatemaybe though, so what i did was wrap the cable in electrical tape and it seems to of stopped.

 

Yes my wifes JK had a horrible rattle and the tailgate was out of adjustment from the winter road conditions this winter. Jeep dealership adjusted the door and that helped...not rattle anymore.
