Hey guys,

I need to indentify a vibration type noise that is happening when my truck is idling (i.e. when I'm stopped at a light). It sounds like a metal-to-metal type vibration that's coming from the front, but I can't really pin down where in the front. It almost sounds like one of the rotors or brake pads are rattling, but it only happens when I'm stopped with the brakes applied, so I don't see how a rotor or a brake pad can rattle when the brakes are applied. It's a pulsating vibration two, meaning it happens about ever 2 seconds.

Any ideas on what this could be?
 






Cat Heat Shields maybe???
