@ what MPH does your car start to rattle?
I was just wondering if it's normal for our car/dash to rattle when we go to speeds at 70MPH and above? Mines start to rattle at 70 if it's not gradual speed.

are your tires balanced. hows your alignment and front end. have the struts, springs, ball joints(greased as well), axle shafts, control arms(if hopping curbs) and the such all been checked out lately? my car does 100 all day and does rattle like your talkin about, rattles alittle bit more with the 18's and low-pros' but with them stockers they just keep it smooth

naaaaaah...But to answer your question, mine rattles at about 70 miles per hour too... also depends on the condition of the road... if its a nice smooth road... at 70mph the glove kind of squeeks... thats about it... if its a rough road... my trunk, passanger seat, and the glove compartment squeeks like there was no tomorrow... I have to fix that... but right now i have to fix my MPH gauge... its still broken... i'll take pics...
finally get that step by step instruction thing... wish me luck...Edit: Above is with my 18's and 40 series tires...

The only rattle I have is my passenger seat (it seems to go away if I recline it, or if someone's sitting in it). This happens not at a certain speed, but over really rough roads.

Can cruise mine at ANY speed and no rattles. Had a shifted belt in a tire once that rattled anywhere from 10-100 so got rid of that sucker, now smoooth as silk. Feel the bumps obviously on the 18's more, but not really too many rattles, except when the big beats bumpin in the back!!!

nope mine rides smooth, this probably isnt the cause but check it just to make sure because when my mom got new tires we were driving home and the whole car along with the steering wheel rattled like crazy. i got out and checked the tires and they werent fully tightened. i doubt u have the same thing but make sure jsu to be safe man

TL no more!
Wait? Rattle?? Is that like an option or something?? Man, I guess I'm glad I didn't get that option.
Haha...I do get a little rattle at various engine speeds though. It's weird.

Too much of this:
