    Default 08.5 gt500 cam rattle

    When i pop the string on my 08.5 gt500 there is a loud rattle coming from my top cam, can't figure what it is but its really annoying everything is tight, could it be the e-clips?

    I would not think it would be the e-clips.

    I am assuming the drawstop is tight. Take the draw stop off and try it again. See if the noise goes away. Obviously do not draw it without the draw stop on it.

    Does it have any type of click coming from the cam like there is a bad bearing in it? Some of the older bows had a bearing problem every now and then.

    Maybe your spacers are too small leaving too much gap and it's the spacers rattling?

    Check and see if the mods are tight. They come loose and rattle. If they fall off, you could ruin your cams. I suggest loc tite on the screws to prevent this. I have had it happen and it sounded like a rattle also.

    2008.5 GT500 does not have mods. It has draw length specific cams.

    Its either this or the brads in the ends of the limb forks are loose. My bet is shims are loose though.
    No ifs and or buts Just maybee.

    Mines rattles after a shot and it is the bottom spacer

    I've come to the conclusion that the abundant are loose
