Suspension and alignment mechanics use it to find rattles, squeaks, and other noises. A brake caliper can have worn mounting hardware too. Although that can cause a horrendous rattle, it usually is not a serious safety problem. If that is the cause, the noise will stop when you hold light pressure on the brake pedal.
