Hi guys, have another one here. When driving especially when accelerating I get this rattling sound coming from the drive shaft maybe or the somewhere up front (note) sound is coming from both sides of the front . I’m not sure but I took a video maybe you can help me point out what this sound might be to you and where to start looking at . Greatly appreciate it.

Geeez, you are not kidding, I would remove the front wheels to make sure the brake calipers have both of there mounting bolts on them and that the brake pads are in good shape. Also, make sure the rotor dust shields are not touching the rotor. If they are okay I would replace the bearing hubs. Please upload a video of what you find so I can help confirm the issue, thanks for the video, it helps. Here is a guide to help raise the front of the car and remove the wheels:

Here is how to replace the bearing hubs, they will need to be pressed out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
