Loose or damaged sway bar links: Sway bar links connect the sway bar to the suspension. If the sway bar links are loose or damaged, it can produce a rattling or clunking noise when you hit the brakes.
Faulty brake caliper: A malfunctioning brake caliper can also cause a rattling or grinding noise.
Worn out or damaged wheel bearing: Worn out wheel bearings can cause a variety of noises, including a rattling or growling sound. If the noise gets worse as you turn the steering wheel, it could indicate a problem with the wheel bearing.
