I have a 04 BA mk1 and over the last week or so its started to rattle, I have narrowed it down to somewhere in the front left hand side. I also have noticed that it only happens when youre not on the brakes, if you braking and hit a little but no rattle, but if your not on the brakes it sounds like the suspension is loose or something.

any ideas??

I know some had issues with front lower control arms that needed shimming. This could be the rattle you are hearing.

had a rattle in mine front wheel it turned out to be the brake pads rattling around ford put new pad shims /springs [cant remember exactly what they called them ] put them in that fixed my problem

thinking it could be something like that's seen as how its not doing it when I break. anyways its book in to pedders for there $14 check thingo they said they should find the problem.

what did yours sound like?? took it to pedders and they seem to think every thing is ok (nothing going to fall off) but the rattle is still there and they are not sure but seem to think it something in the brakes/rotors/hub.

It will be the brake pads, take it to ford they will it. Metro ford did it for me in an hour no charge.
