    '00 323Ci rattling sound

    What do you think this is? Have heard it before, but it is more frequent now.

    Sounds like something rubbing on the exhaust.

    Sound seems to be up front. Heard a different sound this afternoon also that heard almost like a winding. Will try to capture.

    I think it may have been my front axle drivers side. Heard a shattering noise this evening and it looks like my boot is really torn up. Replacement time?

    Not completely sure the noise is the steering rack. I have had the noise off and on since I bought the car almost a year ago. I have been told my throttle cable needs to be replaced and that both fans up front are on their way out. Could be one of those. I have also heard the alternator has a bearing that can sometimes make noise. Pulleys as well. Have not tried to diagnose, but there are good videos on doing so

    The steering rack is not going to make that noise in the video.
