Weird rattling from rear suspension - video included

[William452]

Car was driving fine one day, and I parked it in an underground heated garage. Next day while leaving there's this very loud knocking/rattling coming from the driver side rear wheel area - it's definitely not the engine or exhaust as I stood next to it. The frequency of the sound seems to increase with speed.

Seems to only happen when turning and the sound goes away when the car moves in reverse.


Anyone have any idea what this could be and what a fix would look like?

Thank you very much.

Figured it out... Turns out it was contact between the rotor and the rotor shield in the wheel well. Moved it around a bit with a screwdriver and it cleared up the sound.

Seems to happen when tiny rocks or pireces of glass get stuck in between. I had the same issue and a piece of glass literally 1mm thick caused that horrble noise lol.
