[GT Phayer]

wen driving alone and go over bumps sometimes it makes a slight rattle from the n/s/f wheel you can here from in the car ive had the car on the ramp and everything is a solid as a rock any help ?????

[GT Phayer]

could this be a cv joint ?????

I had a similar problem on my starlet.

One of my brake pad retaining clips was missing, which caused the pad to rattle against the calliper.

Take your wheel off and have a look at your brakes.

Hope this helps.

wheel bearing?

[GT Phayer]

ok cheers the wheel bearings are fine

it doesnt do it all the time though ;)

[andy.i]

check the top nut on the suspesion is tight, thats what caused mine

[GT Phayer]

yer everything is tight its sounds like its coming from directly behind the wheel

ok to eliminate the pads rattling try and recreate the rattle on a perticuler bump/hump and then try it with your foot slightly on the brakes

if it stops then its pad rattle like Shahzad says

I Fixed a similar issue on my Glanza only last week! It was the bronze cover that the split pin goes through on the cv joint.

When i changed the cv boot, i didn't Fit the split pin back in tight enough and it was rattling sooooo bad.
