02 LX Jingling noise when hitting a bump (1 Viewer)

I think its brake pads

Anything loose around the brakes? I've heard it could be parking brake but there isn't any of that going on in the front in to my knowledge. Mine is coming from drivers rear.

well the last annoying noise i had from rear off truck was the parking brake so that was an easy fix, it just needed tightening up.
As mentioned only thing i can think for front is my pads rattling in callipers

Problem solved (well... identified)!!

For my jingling rattle in the FRONT the issue is the C-clip for the lower ball joint. I installed a 555 ball joint and during installation everything was nice and tight. After a couple hundred miles the ball joint has seated enough that the clip has enough wiggle room to jingle around when going over bumps. If I can’t squeeze the clip enough to make it tight on the BJ I’ll just squirt some RTV on it to keep it from moving.

How did you identify the jingle? Wrapping on it with a hammer with the wheel off?

Well im lucky enough that one of my friends is head mechanic for toyota so i solve all noises through him ha ha.
Ive not asked him about this latest jingle but i noticed today its still there when i apply the brake so thats the pads in the caliper out the window!
Where the parking brake meets the dust shield housing is where mine was making a noise.
This jingle from front i can kick the tire and it makes the noise. I removed centre caps and it still persists arhhhhhh
Gonna investigate ball joints now that Bluecruiser has solved his jingle!!

Not really, just needs to be diagnosed like any other noise. I'd start by lifting the parking brake handle slightly and/or apply the brakes while hitting bumps to see if the noise changes. If not, then check suspension parts. Spare tire is always a quick one to check too.

Easiest to find if the noise is consistent and can be re-created

Yeah, def. some good ideas on here. I'll dig in this weekend when I have time. I have no spare under there so I suspect that's it.

Yeah parking brake rattle seems to be more likely than not. Get a few fat friends to jump around on your bumper and see if any noises show up.
