Hi All,
I am new to this site. I recently bought a 2003 used Audi A6 2.7T with 36,000 miles on it. It works fine but i have some rattling noise from the front right tire area. Also while driving i hear a squeaking noise from that side also. Sometimes when i am driving and i lightly press the brake pedal, i hear a grinding sort of noise. It is hard to explain, but the rattling noise is only when i go over uneven surfaces. On smooth surfaces i only hear the squeaking noise.
I will be showing it to the mechanic soon, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sami

 

Something to do with your right front brakes, maybe a loose anti-rattling clip? Who knows.

 

Do you think it might have to do with the break pads? Will they need replacing?

 

Its possible if there are really worn, but its probably something to do with the anti-rattling clips that hold the brake pad in place.

 

Could be the shield as well hitting the back side of the rotor
