Not familiar with your exact setup but if it is similar to my 603 there is a small shock absorber opposite the tensioner spring. This shock wears and the bushings on the ends wear out and rattle at idle. I know on mine it needs replacement about every 50K miles. Simple to replace and the shock is about $40. Hope this helps.
