240 Rattle
Hello:
My high school age son and I just went through a 1990 240 wagon (220K miles) top to bottom, and then took it on a 500 mile trip. It ran fine, except for an annoying metallic rattle that only occurs on light acceleration, never coasting/decelerating, and not when hard accelerating. I have the transmission cooler lines buffered with old pieces of hose, then zip-tied together, and I doubt it was that. I am thinking exhaust system or maybe steering pump belt? The car is in immaculate condition, and I just don't know what else to suspect. Thanks.
