Really annoying noise from brakes

    Driving a 2003 or 2004 (cant actually remember what year my car is lol) Ford Fiesta 1.2

    There is this really annoying rattling noise coming from the brakes somewhere! When driving very slow in low rev's or pushing the steering all the way in one direction and hitting a certain vibration through the car something starts buzzing and rattling. It sounds like a bolt or something shaking but i can't see anything. brake pads are fine and sitting correctly and looking under the car all looks good. when i barely touch the brake pedal (not even enough to slow the car down) the noise stops

    any ideas? anyone know of any issues with stuff shaking itself loose on fiesta's?

    No there are no known issues but i would advise you to get it looked at asap.

    It may not be a problem with your brakes it could be a wheel bearing or some other component that when you brake it tightens up and takes up whatever play is in your steering or braking components.

    You've left out one of the anti-rattle springs.

    Wouldn't be the squealers by any chance?
    When (in mileage) did you last get the front pads changed?
