Noise of coins

Carlow · 02-27-2021, 10:14 PM

When I corner hard I can hear coins sliding around under the passenger side seat.
Any ideas what this could be. Checked the air vent and cant see anything down there.

Pretty hard to see in there if they aren't in the right spot when you looked. My wife lost a tube of lip stick under the passenger seat and it ended up in that vent. For months I heard something sliding back and forth. I looked 3-4 times on different days and finally found it.

If I remember right, the vent is sort of loose and you can wiggle it around. Maybe do that and see if you can hear things moving around in there. It's pretty common for coins to end up there.

Rod Bearings... I am certain.
