1984 Ford LTD Wagon. 111,000 miles. 3.8 engine

Yes, the car is old, but in very good shape. The roads here in Niagara Falls, NY are really, really bad and all 4 doors have begun to rattle. Is there an adjustment I can make in order to stop the rattling?

Hope you can help.

Take off the cam position sensor and see what it looks like underneath it. Have seen quite a few sensors chewed up by the shaft it sets on...can't think of it's name. But if it looks rough, you'll need both.

Also check for codes if nothing is found there.
