I think it is the lifters, you can hear it over each of the front wheels when you put your ear there. Only has 13K miles??? Thanks for the input. -Jim | ||

Is it on a hot or cold engine? Oil changed regularly? I would think ancillaries with that mileage. I had the bearings in an a/c compressor fail (in an Isuzu Trooper) at about the same mileage. It rattled with a knock sound noticeably at idle. Since its still under warranty just take it in. They'll find it. Don't leave it for long. | ||

Out of curiosity, what does this noise sound like? My 03 seems to tick a bit when idling sometimes, but I always thought it was normal. | ||

June, it is very loud but only after it has been driven and I get out while running it seems excessively loud over the front tire. It is lifter noise//knocking.. hard to put word to it. -Jim |
