Heat Shield Rattle: Solved

I was getting a rattle that sounded a lot like a heat shield. Primarily on idle and when lifting off the gas...

It turned out to be the support rod directly behing the rear sheel that bolts to the frame and then screws to the rear bumper just behind the rear wheel. You can actually see the rod in question just by crouching down and peaking behind the rear tire. it looked just fine, but when I gave it a wiggle, it was apparent that it was not screwed in properly. It seems the screw had vibrated out (perhaps the bumper was off and they did not remount it correctly) and the rod was just resting up against the heat shield causing the vibration... I searched the 997 archive but could not find anything, but then it was suggested in the 996 list on another forum... you have to like a free and easy fix to a problem...
