Wierd Brake Caliper Rattle
I have a Caliper Rattling in my left Front Wheel. It actually has play inside the Housing causing a rattle on Rough Pavement.I can actually feel Movement when I wiggle it by hand. It goes away when I apply the Brakes.Anyone experience this crazy Noise? Maybe I can put Brake Pad Grease on the Mating Surfaces????
Thanx

It wouldn't hurt to put a little brake pad compound on the backs of each pad too.

You need "anti-rattle" clips for the pads... Its the brake pads that are rattling...

Along those same lines...my wife's '94 developed a rattle on the left front, only on rough roads or uneven pavement (but more of a 'tinny' rattle than a solid thunk). I thought perhaps it was a caliper/pad issue also. After a week or so of driving/troubleshooting I discovered the "cowbell" that covers the shaft of the front shock was loose and rattling. Replaced shock, rattle gone!
