I can't seem to find out where this rattling is coming from, the rotor bolts are tight. Any ideas.

In the vid, I flick the rear rotor for a comparison, I then flick the front to show the rattling.

    what have you done to cause this?

    i would say your rear pads are rubbing.

    The rear pads are OK, the only reason I've shown them in the vid is as a comparison.

    Its the front that really reverberates and makes a noise.

    dont see it as an issue but would be concerened about the lack of movement on the rear.

    Rear spins free, as does the front.

    I think the front is just the pads rattling around for some reason. wierd though
