Knocking/rattling noise on the Front Driver Side

[SiennaLover69]

Like the title says, im hearing a kind of rattling or clunking noise in the front driver side of the car. I only hear it when I dont have my foot on the gas or the brake. The noise stops when I gas/brake. And I can feel it when my foot is lightly on the gas/brake if that makes sense.
I searched around but didnt find anything exactly like this (either on the passenger side, or the clunking occurs when the gas is applied), so if I missed something, my bad and please point me in the right direction. I've had my gvr4 for a couple years now and im still a bit of a car noob lol.

Thanks!

So is the noise happening when the car moves or is it around the engine? Might help if you were able to post a vid of the noise.

If your suspention is loose I would jack the front up and see if anything clunks when you wiggle the wheels.
Grab the top and bottom of the tire and wiggle. If you start hearing or feeling any clunks have someone look at the ball joints and or tierods to see what's loose.

Alright, I jacked up my car and checked the tires, but no dice, I didnt hear anything. I only hear it when the car is moving and when I dont have the gas or brake pressed. Also I dont think I hear it when im making a turn or anything. Ill try to give recording it a shot.

Does it only happen when you are coasting? Clutch in or out? Does it happen when the car is idling at a stop?

I can hear it only when im coasting, I dont think I hear it when the clutch is in, only when its out. And I dont hear anything when im just sitting there idling.

Do you have a fmic? I can hear the piping rattling against something when decelerating.

To bad you don't live closer. I'd go on a test drive with ya. Going to be really hard to identify a noise through the intronet

When i pushed my clutch pedal in i heard the throw out bearing...it appeared from inside the car to be on the driver side.i could have a friend push the clutch in and hear it easily. Hope that helps, good luck!

I dont have an fmic. Everything on this car is completely stock, I have not done anything to this car yet.
I know, thats too bad, ive got a couple people who can help me out with this but I work all weekend! And im trying to learn as I go haha.
But yeah, Ill try the clutch pedal thing when I get a chance.

Sounds like it could be a u joint in the driveshaft. Might be a good place to look.
