I was driving on some fire roads the other day and I was hearing a rattling noise coming from my front driver side wheel I think it was the suspension because when ever we were in rocky areas or were it was bumpy I could hear this rattling. I have no clue what it is does anyone.

FWIW, does it sound tinny?? I had a similar sound from my driver side front wheel and eventually traced it to a loose dust shield on the front rotor. There are two bolt connections and a press in tab connections that hold it in. The tab connection had come loose and was rattling incessantly at every bump or hole. So, I ended up taking them off both sides. Seems I recall someone on the board suggesting that they be removed as they serve to trap dirt and mud instead of serving as a dust shield.
