I have a 1996 RAV4 with 96,000 miles on it. I have had a rattle noise somewhere in the front end in the or around the engine bay for a while, normally right after start up and when first driving after the car has been sitting awhile. It has gotten worse. i can here all the time during cold weather, when sitting idle, when braking, but not when normal driving. I have tried to stand outside the car and find the noise but have been unsuccessful. I was think ing a wore motor mount or sway bar bushing, but thought I would check on here for any suggestions first.
Second question is lifter noise. I know these small engines have some lifter noise but in colder weather it seems to be worse. The car is running fine otherwise. I have used some heavier weight oil and that seems to help, but any suggestions.
