The car's acceleration and handling doesn't seem any different, but it almost sounds like something is rattling around in there. As soon as the car goes over 20 mph, though, the noise completely stops and everything seems fine. When I slow down again, it comes back. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I think I might take it in to a shop tomorrow; any suggestions as to where to go? The car hasn't had any real problems; has 130,000 miles on it, and all of the fluids are checked and at the right level. I'd appreciate any help anyone would have...

Spray some silicone on the belt and if it shuts up you need a new belt and buy one that's searated(sp) as they are quieter for the long run, T davisgra New User Jul 21, 2006, 6:41 AM Post #3 of 4 (2653 views) Re: '92 Century clacking sound below 20 mph Sign In I'll check that out; the weird thing though is that it clacks while idling and below 20, but then completely goes away over that speed. Would a belt do that?
