Ive noticed a funny metal vibration noise coming from the passenger side after uve accelerated then lifted of the power - like a buzzing noise - hope my cups alright only after 1000miles!!!! Anyone have any thoughts on waht it is ?? It only happens when u lift ur foot of the accelerator at high speeds in 2nd/3rd and let the car slow naturally? Nothing serious I hope ........

maybe your zorst is vibrating on one of the hangers.

i had that.

i just put a bit of silicone hose over the metal braket.

It sounds more like part of the exhaust system either in under the bonnet or the front part of the exhaust near the downpipe?

If it does it at about 3500-3800rpm then it is the exhaust

its the heat shield under the manifold, its common, its easily fixed, reno have a special tool for it called brute force bending and hammering..
