Default baseball card noise

hey guys.

I got a noise coming from either the passenger front or passenger rear wheel. Sounds like a baseball card in a bike wheel when I'm driving. When I brake it stops. It started the next day after I replace my shocks. I never loosened or touched anything but the shocks. I've looked all around each wheel and all the bolts are still in place. Nothing is loose, hanging or bent. I'm at a loss lol

Any ideas?

does it speed up or down with acceleration? If so, it has to do with the tire. Something stuck to rotor maybe. Sticker on the tire? bet its something stupid. Let us know

It speeds up with acceleration. But as soon as I apply pressure to the brakes it stops. I looked at it again today and found absolutely nothing except one wierd thing. I noticed if I pull on the top of the tire it pulls out. Kinda feels spring loaded. It pulls out and goes back into place when I let go. I have a video of it on my phone but don't know how to upload it here.

I was able to fix the wheel pulling out issue. It was the upper ball joint thankfully. Cheap and easy lol. But the noise remains. I'm gonna have to put a camera in there and drive around and see what I can find lol

check your brake pads for wear, wear in the caliper pins or a caliper hanging up a little - caliper might be not holding enough pressure on them letting the pad rattle - if drum brakes on the rear you can have the same affect if the shoes are worn and the adjustment is off letting the shoe vibrate
