front driver side rattle when driving very slow

[timmy0257]

searching this forum for a rattle or vibration thread gets me nowhere, because this could be a billion different things. i would like to describe what i am hearing and see if anyone has heard something similar.

when I am pulling out of a parking lot, i hear a faint rattle. sounds like it is near the front drivers side area. it only happens when i am moving slow, like in a parking lot.

any ideas or what info would help with the diagnosis?

i am wondering if these could be a noice related to the vaccuum system? When i installed my intake, there is a slight kink in the vacuum hose on the pass. side. coudl this be the cauuse?

I'd first check to see if the tire is hitting anything when turning. Maybe a splash/fender well guard.

nope nothing is rubbing on the tire.

i think i may have fixed this. when i installed my R2C instake, there was a slight kink in one of the hoses and i rerouted it finally (i have a bad back and being so tall it hurts to lean over the engine bay) and i have not noticed this sound.

could it have been possible that the noise was the gurgle of air in the hose?

its fixed!! thank gosh.
