So I had bought the Smittybilt SRC Classic Rear Bumper in July of last year. https://www.smittybilt.com/product/index/11.htm I had read a ton of reviews about how the bumper rattles a lot and a few other things such as wrong sized bolts. I knew about the bolts before so I had already bought the bolts I would need to install the bumper. I also used the rubber bumpers that were used with the original spare tire mount and moved them to where they would be behind a few points on the carrier itself. For awhile the bumper did not rattle much and I was overall happy with the way it worked and stayed mostly silent but for a bumper that was so cheap, I wasn't going to complain. But about a month ago It really started to rattle a lot. Especially going down dirt roads where my girlfriends grandpa said it sounded like I had a bowling ball in my backseat. I decided to move the bumper around to find where it was rattling the most and I came down to this conclusion. The main place I found that it was rattling was the latching mechanism. If you are unfamiliar with what this is, it is a metal block that has a wedge on the bottom with one hole for the pin to go through and a threaded hole for the lever to thread into. This block is held together by a spring that goes above this block and the lever makes it to where the block does not fall out. This block was rattling up a storm against the carrier that housed it. I first tried to get little felt pads and put on the block to where it wouldn't be metal on metal contact and tat did work to quiet the bumper but made the process of lifting the block out of the hole a very tough process. So I called Smittybilt and they actually sent me out a brand new latch mechanism with everything so here is my plan. I bought this 1/16" foam padding off of amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZZDMHGX/?tag=wranglerorg-20) and I am going to take the block and shave it down enough to put the block with the foam padding in and be able to move it freely with minimal rattling. I wanted to make this thread so other people with this bumper can see how to make it a little quieter. I will be updating this thread as I do this and hopefully get it to stop rattling!
