Re: Loose Front Brake Pads
Did put slight pressure on the brakes going over it? That would tell if it is the brakes.
If you are trouble shooting, check the flywheel? Does the sound increase with speed?

Re: Loose Front Brake Pads
I'm almost 100% sure that my issue is simply a metalic rattle - not engine related or rotational at all. It's intermitent of course, with the sudden impacting of the suspension over a rut in the road, etc. At first I thought it went away with braking, leading me to believe the loose brake pads were the main cause. But the pads are now tighter, and the rattle is still there - and sometimes even when braking. I'm sure I'll find it to be a loose brake line, or bracket or something, but until I find it, it'll drive me CRAZY.
This truck is certainly not "rattle-free", but this particular one is driving me CRAZY! |
