    Hi guys, I'm getting this metal scraping sound coming front the driver-side rear wheel when going over bumps. Typically, low speed bumps are fine but at higher speeds the noise during the bumps is more consistent.

    Here's a video of it happening and the sound:



    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    One possibility is that the brake pads are known to rattle over bumps. There's some threads about that. However, it's more of a faint clanking sound.
