I’m experiencing a distinct metal clanging or metal tapping sound at low speeds from the front end over any road imperfection. Can only hear it w windows down. 08 2-owner, dealer maintained RL w only 50k miles. Car drives smooth as butter w no drift or noise otherwise. Suspension feels good, nothing abnormal I’ve noticed other than the noise??

Sway bar links? Break calipers rattling? I don’t necessarily thinks it’s the engine mounts?

Thanks in advance

 

check your exhaust heat shields

 

Anti-chatter springs on the front pads - TADT,S.

The leaf springs are attached with a hex bolt, which seizes and they are almost impossible to replace.

Some drill out & JB-weld a new one in. I left them there.

The ones on the pads themselves are easy to replace and quiet it down a bit. Plenty of copper grease helps too.

 

Do you feel like if something is hitting the driver side floor. If so it's probably the sway bar endlinks. My 05 had similar feelings when driving over bumps.
