OK, i like getting rough but i do draw a line.
I would try securing it legitimately, try pin pointing and confirming by removing the inner wheel arch so you don't make a mess for nothing.
Don't recommend filling the inner guard with foam at all.

if u have a crash, whats the plan to fix it if its filled with expander foam??

the workshop (kinda big where i live) said foam away brother! LOL!!!

i was thinking (and asked said shop) about hardcore duct tape and he said sure, but filling foam will be better.

im gonna take the wheel off...pin point it.. tape/secure it..and see how it goes without using foam.

thanks chowdaaa!

Building foams that you get from bunnings can actually cause corrosion on metal parts..Additionally, if not done properly, can trap moisture and again..corrosion.

Your call man..

You won't be able to apply foam into an open area. It is poured in as a liquid, so you cannot have any open gaps, otherwise it will just leak or pour out onto the ground.

The workshop is giving poor advice. You should pinpoint the rattle, and it could be something as simple as a loose dust shield or the resonator hitting the chassis because of a missing bolt. Once you find the source, look for missing bolts and replace those. If all the bolts are there, you can use the duct tape route as a troubleshooting guide to further narrow down the offending source.
