Hey guys, I'm pretty certain that my brake rotor cover things are causing all the rattling in my car..
Are these safe to remove/bend?

Yeah. They're just stone guards.
Take them off, see if noise goes away, if it doesn't chuck em back on!
Let us know how you go.

Taking them off is easie.....set of wire cutters.
I believe the wheel bearing needs to be removed to get it off in one Piece.
1 look & you will know.
pretty sure thats how it is. maybe you can confirm this.
