Default HELP/INFO-IMTERMITTENT RATTLE OVER BUMPS

Hi Snetters

I recently had to go down a cobbled road for about a half mile (didnt realise there was any left) and since then i`m getting a intermitent rattle from the front wheel area. Ive checked the drop links,arb,wishbone on the side the rattles coming from. It does sound like it could be coming from the brakes though like a shim has come loose or something like that.

I`ve not stripped the brakes down yet but wanted to know if anyone else had suffered from this issue and if so what was it so I can target that 1st.

I appreciate your advice and info as always

Rich

P.s The brakes work fine no judder or issues that ive come across yet....

Hi possible the pads are slightly loose in the calipers put your foot on the brakes as you go over the bumps to see if it stops.
