I’ve had a metallic rattle coming from the passenger’s side front wheel area for sometime now. I’ve looked at most of the suspension parts up there, and found nothing loose. The other night while driving at about 20mph (which is when the rattle happens) I decided to apply the brakes while also keeping the speed around 20mph. With the brakes applied, the rattle went away. I let off the brakes, the rattle was back. I applied the brakes again, rattle gone. With this info, I assumed it was the brake pads rattling. I’ve also had some brake squeal lately as well.
Today I took the brake pads out, applied more anti-brake squeal to the back, cleaned things up a little on the braking system and re-installed the pads. The rattle is still there after all of that. Still, if I apply the brakes during the rattle, the rattle goes away.
My question is, what is related to the braking system that could cause a rattle besides the pads?
Does anyone else have any ideas of what I should try?
Thanks for any help in advance. Things like this drive me nuts!!!
