wheel problem?? need your help!!
few days ago my driver side front wheel sounded like it was loose. everytime i hit a bump it rattles really bad. so i took it to a buddies house and we tightened the lug nuts thinking that was it...it wasn't. it's still making the sound. it sounds like having lug nuts completely off a rotor and it just bouncing around in side a hupcap (best way to describe the sound)...and this happens over every lil crack/bump in the road...please help!!

Sounds to me like you are either missing brake pad clips, you have a loose caliper, or a loose shock mounting bolt.
Start looking at stuff connected to the a-arms and knuckles. They move when the tire does.

took the tire off and looked at everything...come to find out it was the brake caliper bracket...the two bolts that hold it on, i could literally finger tighten them on..not good haha...but we tighten them down...now everythings fine...
