    Default Rattling from Rear

    Hi

    I have an annoying rattling coming from the rear of my Vectra C Hatcback. Most noticeable when driving over bumpy sections of road.

    Recently had it in the garage for another problem and on a test drive the mechanic said it sounded like my wheel bearings had gone.

    I have only noticed it since i changed my rear pads and was wondering if it could be something to do with this?

    Thanks

    Brake pads will be loose i had same problem, not sure how it occurs but had brakes changed and that was it, noise gone. A way to test if it is loose pad is when its doin the noise brake very gently and the rattle will stop. Thats what u want to happen as its a cheap easy repair and at least ul know what it is!

    I'm having the same sort of problem and have heard to check the drop links and ARB bushes as both are meant to be cheap and easy fixes

    Any movement in the wheel to indicate a bearing?
