I have a crazy metal "jingling" sound that follows tire rotation. Sounds like it's comming from the front. It did that when I bought the car, then went away, now it's back.

 

I look under the car expecting to see a loose rotor dust shield but everything looks tight. It's a sheet metal sound. Seems to be only at slow speeds and goes away when I hit the brakes.

 

I'll have to put it on 4 jackstands and let it run in gear as I look under it and try not to get my sleeve snagged on rotating parts...any ideas?

 

It's an 87 RX with full time, turbo and LSD.

this is a stupid question and im sure you've checked but...are your brake pads low???? could it be the squeeker plates on the rotor?

i would bet it is that or more likely you don't have all of the anti rattle clips on one or both of your pads (should be 3 each side) and you've got a wobble that goes jingle jangle. at speed it straightens itself out. i've had it happen just as you describe.

I'll have to look at the callipers and pads, It doesn't sound or feel like the brakes are worn but maybe those keepers. Hmm
