Loud Rattle coming from front left side

silver99gt · May 9th, 2008, 01:49 PM

Like the title says I have a loud rattle coming from the left side around the tire somewhere. Its annoying as hell, and it seems to go away when i push the brakes in. I cant hear it when i get out of the car and go towards the front but when i sit in the drivers seat i hear it plain as day. Any ideas?

could be any number of things.. first thing that came into mind was a brake pad rattling.. i would try jacking the car up and taking the tire off.. then check your strut, tie-rod end, caliper, and everything else for loose bolts and fittings. also try seeing if your brake pad is loose inside the caliper

Check your wiper washer fluid container. I had bad rattle it was the container, I'll explain. The container is held to the inner fender on the drivers side there is a weak point and the metal cracks. It was driving me nuts I fixed it and the car rides like a rock now.

its either your brake pad or a bushing, and when you slow down it puts stress on the bushing and thats why it goes away

dude check you calipers, especialy the bolts. i guarantee that thats it. i ignored the sound untill my caliper broke off.
