So a couple weeks ago, I noticed that when I was driving really slow, like under 10mph, i heard what sounded like a screw bouncing around somewhere on the passenger front side of the car. After 10mph, it disappeared.. I threw it up on a drive-up rack and couldn't find anything from underneeth.. Then I had my friend stand outside and he said it was definitely coming from the front right wheel area..

I jacked the car up and spun the wheel by hand.. it made the noise. I took the rim off the car and spun the hub by hand and again, it made the noise.. It doesn't seem like theres anything behind the heat shielding, or that any part of the caliper is loose. The CV joint looks fine and there are no leaks anywhere. It honestly sounds like there is a rock or a screw stuck inside the ventillated area of my brembo x-drilled/slotted rotor.

I'm going to prod at it some more, get a friend to look at it, and if nothing avails itself, im pulling the caliper and rotor off (minor pita to put back on )



Will update you guys...

I had a pebble in my rotor. At low speeds, it sounded like something 'metallic' was clanging from my front left wheel.

Have fun.

Yup. I had my friend take a look and we both think there is a pebble or something stuck in the rotor... I can't think of any way to get it out besides pulling the caliper and rotor off and shaking the rotor until it comes loose.. I dont know what else to do..

Suggestions?

I've had about 2 handfuls of gravel and rocks inside my wheels before, stock sawblades so they didnt really go anywhere. It was because I was playing around off-road just imagine a hamster in a hamster wheel, but lots of rocks inside of my front wheels.
