This ring is rattling over bumps, the other side is tight but this one spins and has movement to rattle.

What is it? Any idea on the problem? Its just a passed it's MOT.

That's an heat shield to protect the gum from brake heat. It should not be so noisy... If you want to raplace it, it's very cheap.

Awesome, thanks for your help Smile

The play is up and down, as shown in this image.

Worth replacing? I assume it's the rubber seal that needs replacing not the heat shield ring as it look as thin on the other side?

Probably the ball joint knackered. Not the heat shield

I replaced mine because of a tinging sound. If it's more a knock, it's the joint.

It's not a knocking it is definitely a metallic rattle. Like shaking the washer on and nut.

Wiggling that ring makes the exact same sound, The question is what is allowing the ring to move??

There are little tangs that sit in the gap in the hub to ball joint mount. If the tang is squashed flat it will allow the shield to move about.

There's a small piece that fits into yoke groove. If that is consumed, it rattles. Buy a new one it's 1 or 2£.
