I own a 1993 Toyota Previa with 163,000 miles on it. I bought it about 2 moths ago, and noticed a rattling type noise coming from under the hood. Like the fan was cliping something, or something was lose and banging together. I didin't think it was a serious problem, but it got louder and louder every day. Now it's unbearable, and I'm worried it could be a major expense. I was hoping someone on here had the same problem, or knows if this is common. The engine seems to shake more than an engine should. When I accelurate, and brake the noise seems to stop, but at signal lights it's louder than ever. Thank's for your time. Hope to hear from someone.

Sounds like your problem is the SADS (Supplemental Accessory Driveshaft) going bad. That's the front driveshaft that runs your A/C, alternator, and power steering. Your best bet is to get the bushings replaced. Toyota will sell you a complete shaft with bushings for over $1,000 but you don't need the entire thing replaced- just the bushings. you can find just the bushing kit on e bay for less than $100. Toyota also sells the kit but the cost is more than double that.
