Hi,

Recently, my truck started making a vibrating/grinding/rattling/clattering noise, but only when going between 25-45 MPH. It makes the noise while cruising and accelerating, but not while decelerating. The best way I can describe it is that it is similar (but not exactly the same) as the sound my last car made when the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. But I do not think that is the case with my truck. It sounds almost like a bushing/cover is loose and grinding against something. Anyone have any thoughts on where I might start looking?

Thanks,
C. M.
