My front passenger side wheel rattles during off pedal...I mean 'coasting'.
It only rattles when off-throttle. If I step on the gas even very little amount, it' doesn't.
I found the crack at the differential mount which is on the crossmember...so I changed it, but it wasn't a culprit.
Check this out.

My next suspect is a half shaft, maybe the next one will be a diff.
What do you guys think? Hopefully everyone could understand my English.
Thanks.

I had a rattle very similar to that I thought was coming from a wheel or drivetrain when my H3 was new ande I got off the throttle. It turned out to be from the exhaust pipe rattling against the frame when the engine wasn't under load. The dealer fixed it by adjusting the exhaust pipe hangar.

Good for you.
I guess mine is from CV, hopefully not a diff...

It turns out the thing is front diff damage, probably the ring and pinion.
Hell...I'm waiting for the parts.
