I have a Chevy Cobalt 2007, and it has been doing this for a while. If I press the brake a little harder, the rattling stops. It doesnt rattle until I press the brake. Leading me to believe there is a problem with my rotors or my caliper. But it seems more like its my suspension. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks all for your help!

If the rattle is like a shimmying in the steering column, it's probably a warped rotor.

But if it really is a rattle, take a flashlight and poke around under that wheel to see if your cv boot is ripped or if you can see any damage to the joints leading to the wheel.

It may also be helpful to have someone else hit the brakes while you look to see how they engage on the rotors. If the shoes are out of wack that could explain things.
