Hey all. I've owned my 1993 vette for about 2 months now and have become very close to it. I honestly think it's the best thing I've ever spent a good amount of dough on Anyways I know the C4 is notorious for alot of rattles and shakes. Since day 1 there is a distinct rattle (actually more like a light banging or clang) Yesterday I was cleaning my Rims and just touched the caliper and there is some play on it. It is tight up and down, but if you push in on it a bit at the middle, there is about 1/8"-3/16" play. It is only on the fronts. It's the middle section of the caliper. There is 1 pin but 2 holes. However upon closer inspection the other hole looks like if a pin went in it would hit the pad. When I push it a little bit it's the exact sound I hear when driving around. The brakes also seem to work fine. I don't know....am I over thinking the situation? Is there anyone else who has experienced this. What's the solution? I just don't want anything to happen while I'am driving. Maybe if anyone has pics of their brake area it would help me too. I never really looked at anyone else's.
THANKS ALOT!!!!!!

 

I have a '93 and there are two hole and one pin. It concerned me, but all the calipers are the same. Maybe your problem lies somewhere else.

 

I've seen one where driving down the road you would hear a rattle noise coming from the front... found that the outboard pad on the pass side had rusted and...

one of the spring/retainers that is riveted to the (outboard) pad was missing (the retainer that goes through one of the 2 large holes on the outboard side of the caliper)

so the outboard pad was rattling around... this was on a 91' coupe.


It's late and I can't really remmber right now.. but I believe on end of the pads has a spring type clip on it.. maybe that is missing.. I would have to look at my car as I work on so many different vehicles I can't remmber for sure..
