I have a 2006 Infiniti m45 and I can't seem to figure out what is causing my car to make this rattling noise when either in reverse and or turning my wheel slightly. It seems to be coming from the front drive side wheel area. I took a video of the noise with the link down below. If anyone knows what he problem is please help !

Sounds like your dust shield or something metallic is vibrating. I'd remove the wheel and see if all looks good down there.

You can also take a long flat screwdriver or something similar and just push it off the rotor a little bit without removing anything. Take your fist and bang on the sidewall of the tire. If you hear the noise it's probably the backing plate.
