Wheel bearing failure: is a likely cause of a rattling sound coming from the front left wheel of your 1998 Honda Civic. When a wheel bearing wears out or becomes damaged, it can cause the wheel to wobble or have excessive play. This can create a rattling or grinding noise, especially when turning or going over bumps.

Loose or damaged suspension components: Such as control arms, tie rods, or ball joints, can also cause rattling noises if they are worn out or damaged. These components help to support the wheels and keep them in alignment, so if they are loose or damaged, it can cause the wheels to move around and make noise.
