Default a weired problem

Ok first of all hola to everyone
Second I have already searched and couldn't find any posts with anyone having the same problem.
What is going on is I have somewhat of a clicking noise coming from the front driverside wheel and also a very metallic rattling when I go over the slightest bump, BUT no rattling if I have the brakes pressed. I checked and best I could tell without taking the wheel off that the caliper is bolted up fine. Any ideals?

Default RE: a weired problem

My first guess would be TRE, or control arms bushings going out.

My next culprit would be a wheel bearing.

Try to push & pull the tire, if it moves & makes a noise chances are its the bearing.

Hack up & remove the tire. Use water pump pliers to move all the suspension arms, and see if any of them pop, or move.
If they do, there bad.
