N/s/r rattle

[Mal001]

Hi

I have a rattle which is coming from the rear nearside wheel area. On initial inspection i cant see anything wrong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I do have the rear box with the outer skin eaten away a bit by rust.

Any ideas. ?

Thanks

Maybe brake pad rattling

It could be the hold down pins from the handbrake shoes could have come away from the back plate

Mine was a broken part of the rear spring rattling in the cup.

Hi.

Story so far. Wheel off disc and caliper off. Spring appears in one piece. Pins appear to be still in correct place on back plate. Handbrake shoes secure. Hub nut to torque. Slider pins on calliper were all good and tight. Nothing appears loose/broken. Put everything back together and went down road rattle still there. It sounds like the baffle of the exhaust rattling in box but much more metallic and more prevalent when over poor road surfaces. Tried it with handbrake on, noise still there but not as loud, but, that might not be true and just me.. think i'm gonna remove the back box and see if that makes a difference. At least eliminate it from list of suspects.

Ive got the same problem, driving me mad. Sounds like its coming from the front passenger side wheel.

Any ideas?
