went to mechanic had him check out the exhaust, The guy noticed my Rear O2 sensors make a noise so he removed them and the spring hangers and banged on the exhaust and the noise was gone. we thought that was it so we just replaced the rear O2 sensors(there 23 years old) and added that 3rd spring MOD to the exhaust hangers to double make sure come to find out none of that fixed it and its still there. could it be H pipe jingle or what ever that term is?

went to a different mechanic and he thinks its the TORQUE tube( said he felt it in the shift **** and in the seat from driving in first gear) . any insight would be appreciated dont wanna waste 3800 bucks for no reason.

I have a rattle in my C8. Seems to be totally random. Some roads it does it some doesn't. Maybe speed related, at about 50 mph on the passenger side, possibly the door jamb? Not sure where it comes from. My wife has hearing like an eagle has eyesight. She says it is coming from the door jamb she thinks. We tried the intake on the side there where it can rattle. Does not seem to be the issue nor the door panel? Any ideas?
