If the sound stops when you lightly apply the brakes it is probably disc brake pads that weren't properly installed and they are rattling now that they are worn down. There should be a clip and disc brake quiet that keeps them attached to the piston cup of the caliper. If not they will rattle back and forth in the distance between the caliper cup and the rotor when the brakes are not applied.
the squeaking sounds like a wheel bearing going bad. And the pulling to one side is cause by unequal braking pressure caused by plugged rubber brake hose, bad calipers or wheel cylinders. Check the bearings by lifting the car with a jack, block the wheels, and use a jack stand for safety. now wiggle the tire around. If it has any play, the bearing is bad. Replace it. I would replace your brakes as well. Good luck
I have had a few rattles in my 96 RS. One was the heat shield on left side of bike even though they were tight I could still bump muffler with hand and get a rattle out of it. Also inbetween my brake pads the clip that sits between them came loose and was rattlin its **** off...drove mw crazy...but simple fix.
I have a 917.273482 model but perhaps this will help. My tractor wouldn't move under engine power, and the wheels were locked, too (could not even push it). The probelm was that the brake has a linkage into the hydrostatic drive transmission, so that when the brake is applied, no engine force will be applied to the wheels. A spring releases (returns)this linkage when you take your foot off the brake. In my case the linkage was stuck. A copious amount of WD-40 into and around the opening that the linkage goes through into the transmission case made everything work fine once again. Hope you problem is as easy to fix as this.
Hello Phil, It is common for the brake pads to have some vibration. The noise however can be eliminated by installing some back plate shims on the back of the pads or by applying a product called "disc brake quite" that is available at most auto parts stores. This will cure the noise problem. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/CRC-4-oz-118-294-ml-high-temperature-disc-brake-quiet?itemIdentifier=348169 I hope this information is helpful.
You must be in neutral at an idle with the brake applied.Then go from low to high. Then into 2WD or AWD which ever you have. Dont hurry it, 4WD low is a really low gear and will mesh the transfer case gears. Make sure your at an idle and not moving. Let me know how you make out please.
I would say it is your clutch (In your case it more than likely the throw out bearing if you hear rattle sound.) with the amount of miles and the year of the vehicle. Clutch plates, just like brake pads, eventually wear out. Consider yourself fortunate that you have gone this far without having to replace it.
