Hello all, I am on a quest to take care of a very annoying problem. I have this ticking/knocking noise that went as far back as I could remember, since when the car is new. I have determined to track down this little annoying tick that made my g-vr4 felt extremely cheap. This noise in question came from the passenger side A-pillar, execatly the A-piller, even more precise, from the hood hinge to the bolt for the seat belt track. Steps taken:
Hood/hinge removed
door removed
dash removed
ecu removed and laying on the floor board
windshield removed together with those annoying plastic clips that hold the windshield
hood crow/vent removed
seat belt removed
STILL have the damn noise that just seems to come from the A-piller!! just a littlest of road irregularities sets it off! loud enough to be heard from out side the a-pillar and inside the car. Me and my friend drove around the block with all those things off the car like a made man hanging around the a-pillar to locate the noise. Next on the list would be the fender removal and checking the main wire harness that goes in the firwall. I've checked and make sure there are no bolts or plastic falls inside the a-pillar, I don't understand what that noise is??! I always thought it was just a lose plastic clip or something and that eventually I'll find it. Appearently after 19 years of ownership and for the life of me, can't figure out what is in this a-pillar that could make this noise. I am almost temped to cut a hole from the inside the a-pillar just to take a peak what is inside the a-pillar?! is that too far? I would imaging it is just hollow inside.... the car have never been in accident on that side of the car.
