Just recently I got a new exhaust fitted to my mpi as the old one was uncomfortably loud. Now that I can actually hear things while driving along, I've noticed a strange jingly-rattle coming from the front wheels on both sides whilst going over sharp bumps. The rattle is loud enough to attract looks from pedestrians (much as I like to think it's just the good looks of the car.....or even the driver!) and it's quite embarrassing to be driving a rattling car! I thought it might be the front subframe was loose, but I've had it checked and it's OK. I've also noticed that when I have my foot on the brakes, even just slightly, the rattle completely stops. I have Minisport alloy 4-pot calipers and vented discs which I fitted last year. My current theory, although it seems odd, is that the brake pads are rattling in the calipers. Does this sound likely to anyone.......and are there any ideas on how to test it?
Thanks,
Stu
