Default Rattly disc any ideas??

morning people,
right i have a 1.6 fiesta zs tryed gettin some help of the zsoc but to no avail, my problem is i have rattly disc and by that i mean everytime i go over small bumps/potholes/grates etc theres a realy annoying rattle now i fitted the brakes myself and i have checked them they all sound bck together properly theres jus the slightest bit of play between the disc and the end of the driveshaft, but everything works fine, i suspect that they may be warped or that my wheels needs balancing i dunt no weather any of these could be the problem, i did have the wheels balanced not long bck but due to the **** state of the roads i suspect that they may be buckled, any help would be much appriciated, cheers

Thing is, with the wheels off, the disc will rattle as its the wheel and wheel nuts that hold it all tight. Sure its not something else? Knackered balljoint etc?

It's very very unlikely to be a disc rattling, as you'd have little to no brakes.
I'd look at arb drop links(if fitted) first.

check your brake pads mate
had the friction part breakaway from the metal backing once and only noticed it due to a rattle similar to yours mate
