hmkim Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's been 3 days since I got my 2006 ES330 back from a body shop (I got rear ended). I don't know if I was imagining it, but when I was driving it today, I thought the noise level was high. The engine was quiet, so it must be some kind of road noise. I was driving on the same route that I had used hundreds times before. The tires are about 1 year old and seem fine. Can (poor) body work result in more noise?

cduluk Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Oh yeah.. Is the noise like a clanking or suspension noise? Or more of an ambient wind noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmkim Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's not mechanical or wind noise. It's more like tire/road noise. I don't recall having heard that much noise before. I initially thought that the rear axle or a rear wheel might have been damaged. However, I don't notice vibration. Moreover, When I drove the damaged car for a few days before dropping it at the body shop, I didn't notice anything strange, noise-wise.

gbhrps Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 hmkim, I would wonder if some of the trunk inner panels or the sound deadening materials under neath were left out by the body shop. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
