Oh!...One more thing Sarah and any other non-mechanical kinda persons...The old rule of thumb for nuts and bolts typically.
Turn:
Lefty--- Loosey (CCW)<-------------forour Canadianmates,that speels everything with the European flair and colour and flavour,that would be Anti-Clockwise
Righty---Tighty (CW)

I don't have the camera with me (it's at work)..
But it's pretty simple to explain..
Standingat the passenger side of the hood (open)..looking at the large silver shield around the exhaust manifold..the nuts form a triangle pattern..one on top middleand one on either end down lower..the one in the topmiddle you can get to with a stander ratchet and extention with a 10mm socket..the one on the right can be got to with a box end 10mm wrench and the one on the left is behind the transmission dip stick pipe..takes a little doing, but a 1/4" drive ratched and a 10mm socket will fit in there...All this while standing on your tippy toes so you don't rub against the finish and rub fine scratches in...you should get a step stool and a blanket to lay over the fender..

RE: noise
This suggestion worked for out well for me and eliminated the noise (for the time being). Had the same noise around 1000 RPM range. Thought it was something in the steering column but dealer came up with the same BS line of "truck characteristic" and told me its the noise the 5 cyl. makes. Funny thing is I didnt recall hearing this noise for the first 4K miles. So far the dealer has been useless. All my rattle repairs have been resolved as a result of this forum.. Keep em' coming....

RE: noise
You guys are all NUTS!!!
I think I'll go tighten my nuts! Ah yes..... much better[sm=smiley32.gif]
But on a serious note..... My 07 H3 has that exact same rattle in the morning when everything is cold, it only does it during the slow load drive down the street, goes away when the engine warms up (my nuts fit better when it's warm).
