My augers (Patriot, 3.5" diameter, 11" long, 2 per side) rattled like crazy when I first put them in and it drove me crazy. I pulled the side pipes apart (seems like about 5 times now) and bent the spirals to a tighter fit on the side pipes, then drove them in with a mandrel (long 1/2" bolt with a large washer) and 24 oz. ball pein hammer. No rattles, better sound - love them.
