whilst driving....i get the weirdest faint rattling feeling through the accelerator pedal....seems to correspond with the feeling i get through the steering wheel.

no corresponding noise....

seems to get worse or almost dissapear depending on the road surface condition.

i have a list of things i think it could be....but im somewhat unsure what to tackle first.

1. slight rust lip and slight warp on old front discs as calipers were sticking.
2. old track rod ends, there is no play or persihed rubber boots but they are old and have not been replaced yet.
3. steering rack play. there is about 1mm of play "through" my steering rack

4. something else, any ideas?

everything else seems tight with no play...but sometimes my steering does feel "extra light" in the straight position. and somewhat overly bump steery when going over uneven terrain.

figured most of it out today.... Smile

accelerator pedal pivot point was worn and had play. shimmed it up with a shim made from a drinks can to remove all this play.

problem solved, mostly.

the pivot hole/bushing is located on the same part of the interior frame bit that the steering columns attached to, hence why the knock/rattle between the pedal and my steering wheel felt connected.

the more rattles i fix/silence the more i notice all the others.

the relatively larger rattles have gone....there is no real pedal/wheel corresponing feeling anymore, i figure the remaining much smaller, more consistant gritty rattle feeling is my slightly warped front discs with a lip.

i have new pads and discs sat in my garage, but theres so much meat left on the bad ones....i cant bring myself to bin them yet.
