left front rattle
 
I have read countless posts on this subject and one mentioned that with light pressure on the brake peddle the noise stops. Well that is what mine does, it is bad on a gravel road but with light brake pressure it stops, one person suggested it might not be a brake issue but I had the car aligned and the tech. said the rack seemed good an tight yet. so I am thinking it has something to do with the brakes. I am not real familiar as to how these brakes are set up, I am guessing it isn't much different from other cars with disk brakes. What I am asking , I guess,,is what is there to rattle in the brake set up. such as noisy pads,, something to do with the caliper mounts,, any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Go buy some anti squeal goo. Take off your front wheels. Take the pads out. Put the goo on the back of them. Let it get 'firm'. Reinstall them. TIGHTEN THE HELL OUTTA ALL THE BOLTS. You should be good for about 5k miles, then it'll come back. :\
