Sheet metal noise on front suspension???


Recommended Posts

I have a crazy metal "jingling" sound that follows tire rotation. Sounds like it's comming from the front. It did that when I bought the car, then went away, now it's back.

 

I look under the car expecting to see a loose rotor dust shield but everything looks tight. It's a sheet metal sound. Seems to be only at slow speeds and goes away when I hit the brakes.

 

I'll have to put it on 4 jackstands and let it run in gear as I look under it and try not to get my sleeve snagged on rotating parts...any ideas?

 

It's an 87 RX with full time, turbo and LSD.

this is a stupid question and im sure you've checked but...are your brake pads low???? could it be the squeeker plates on the rotor?

 

i would bet it is that or more likely you don't have all of the anti rattle clips on one or both of your pads (should be 3 each side) and you've got a wobble that goes jingle jangle. at speed it straightens itself out. i've had it happen just as you describe.
