Question... Is it comming from the tire or the from left side of the engine compartment? Does it only happen when your driving? or starting+ driving?

it doesnt sound like its coming from the engine more like under the left front tire i think its something in or on the axle of the car but usually when the engine is cold and i start it up it makes this rattling / vibrating sound.

could possiably be a problem with a line running to your caliper if it happens when you pump your break. A blockage of some sort.. wish I knew a bit more so I could help ya out more :( Im currently in the process of replacing my entire break system on my 03 eclipse
