Listen for a distinct metallic rattle (it should sound similar to what you’re hearing while driving). They’re usually made of layers of metal that simply wrap around the exhaust manifold, forming a heat sink that bears the brunt of the temperatures generated by fast-moving parts. Simply open your steel hose clamp and wrap it completely around the heat shields surrounding your loose component, sandwiching it inside. I forget proper nomenclature but I remember a fastener, commonly referred in aerospace as a "Mother-in-law" because they were a pain in the ass, especially, to remove.

Since it’s pretty quick to find and check under the vehicle, start there before getting into finding a rattle somewhere else. Bolts that screw straight into the chassis are usually very large with very strong threads so you can apply adequate torque to undo a seized nut.Use a bit of ally sheet instead of a repair washer, the galvanic corrosion will take many car lifetimes to eat through 1mm of aluminium compared to the wafer thin heatshield. Nightmare things, the amount of cars we see per year for rattles that are nothing more than heat shields that have dropped, most rot the actual heatshield and then it’s time for a big repair washer as most don’t want the cost of a new heatshield. Make a couple of big square washers from a bean tin, folded a couple of times and a small hole made with a nail.
