What Causes the Cargo Area Rattle in the IZOA?

[Barnes]

IZOA cargo area rattle may result from the following causes: Loose items in the cargo area - Check for objects that may vibrate, roll, and produce noise during driving; Cargo compartment components - Loose parts such as tailgate locks; Chassis - Loose chassis connections; Shock absorbers - Damaged shock absorbers causing noise; Interior storage compartment items - Typically objects in glove compartments or wiring from aftermarket electronic devices striking surfaces. Sometimes these sounds reflect off the ceiling, creating the illusion of cargo area noise. These represent the most common sources of such rattles, though specific cases require individual analysis.
