So a few weeks ago the truck started making a noise on the left front. It's not a clunking sound, doesn't change with speed or turning. It doesn't just make it on bumps..fairly consistently between 5-10 seconds. It sounds like if you hit the brake dust shield..kinda tinny sounding..like a thin piece of metal. I got under the truck and couldn't find anything loose or that'd move. Checked the shield from under the truck because that's what it sounded like.

Turns out it was the anti-rattle clip making the noise. After I found out it stopped when applying the brakes, I knew it was brake related. Had a lot of side to side movement on the clip. I bent the end tabs down some and that fixed it for a week or so. Im just going to order new clips and stop messing around with it.
