RE: Rapping Noise Upper End 1986 Graduate

["Michael & Carmen Keith" <mikeandcarmen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It may sound strange, but it's easy to check.  Check for a loose A/C belt.

I had a strange rapping noise on an 86 Grad that I used to own, & it turned
out to be a loose A/C belt.  The loose belt caused the compressor to vibrate
even if it wasn't on.  The vibration traveled through the A/C lines to the
receiver/dryer, which almost touches a frame rail on the passenger's side.
The receiver/dryer would vibrate against the frame rail, & the resulting
noise would travel throughout the car.  A new A/C belt took care of the
problem.

That may not be your problem, but it's easy enough to check.
