Default caliper rattle-can it be fixed??
i know this has been discussed before,but what did you do

and cir-clips in 2 yrs. ago,when i did the pads and the little clip
on the outside of the pad edge as well. Just makes the car
sound like it is coming apart.Help anyone??

Mine does the same thing. It doesn't really bother me, in fact I don't even notice it.

The anti rattle clips do break occasionally from metal fatigue and need to be replaced. AND they do need to be adjusted correctly so that there is tension all the time. Just bend them with needle nose pliars until there is constant tension on them between the pad and the caliper.

Those anti rattle clips don't last . I'd just replace them.

Go to your local parts guy and ask for a hardware kit, I got mine at Carquest,they are kind of pricey for what you get.
