Rattle noise from underneath...

[mole177]

At first it happend when I was in reverse while applying the brakes.

no biggie... now it happens when I am in Drive when I apply the brakes.

The rattle sounds like metal vibrating on metal.

checked all bolts that I have taken out. (splash/skid plate) all tight...

any suggestions ?

Heat shields on your exhaust? Something stuck underneath (Have you looked)? Brake dust shield behind the discs? Loose rocks trapped in skid plate?

I'm starting to think it may be debris in the skid plate area...

is this normal? or has it happend to anyone? often?

I don't see why it can't happen. Rocks get kicked up and may get lodged in there. I had a rock that got stuck behind the hub cap in my old car and it annoyed the crap out of me. I didn't find it until I needed to rotate the tires!! :arrow:
