Jingling noise under car solved.

The moderator may want to move this to another location, but I wanted to get it out there so that it might help anyone that was noticing this issue. My car developed a jingling noise that appeared to be coming from directly under the center of the car after about 1100 miles. At first, it would only jingle when you hit a bump with the rear wheels, but later increased to doing it even while on coarse roads, or even if a gust of wind hit the car. I was thinking that something was loose under the car. I wound up operating the emergency brake lever a few times and the jingling has disappeared. It would appear that it had something to do with the linkage of the emergency brake lever. Just wanted to pass that on.

Glad you solved it (would be nice to know what was making the noise) and FAQs seems like the place for this.

Thought it might have been that empty beer can that got caught on he frame when you tossed it out...
