I found the mystery Noise!!
In my previous post I noticed a noise in the front end I found it. The Brake caliper (I guess) is rattling, and when u put on brakes it clicks and goes away. Is this the caliper or Pad?? or both

I'd take a good look at the pins that hold the caliper in place as well as the interfacing surfaces on the caliper itself and the spindle for wear. Remember, assuming the caliper is loose it's slowly eating away at the surfaces that are needed to keep it secure. When you put the brakes on, the force against the pads, caliper, pins, and spindle stops the slop from causing a rattle.
BTW, I have seen calipers where pad movement has caused enough wear on the caliper to cause a rattle so you probably should inspect for that too.
