I have a 89 and whenever you apply the brakes there is a clicking noise.The brakes seem to work ok but its a loud clicking and sometimes when the brakes aren't being used the brakes seem to rattle when going over bumps in the road.I took them apart and it looks like the fit of the pads in the caliper bracket is sloppy.The brake pads are only a few months old but are they undersize?Are the caliper brackets wore out so the pads don't fit snug?Anyone have this sort of thing happen?

ive never seen or heard of a caliper bracket being worn out.

sounds like you have a pad rattling around. there are little metal sort of holding/retainer things that interface between the braket and the pad. one of THOSE is most like installed backwards or disintegrated.

are you comfortable doing your own brake job? a tube of brake specific lube and maybe a can of brake clean.

There are no clips in there.I did get a new set of pins that came with 4 anti rattle clips(at least that's what I think they are)but I don't know where they go

I installed the rattle clips between the pad and the bottom of the caliper bracket and it fits together nice and snug.........should fix the noises I think.

you must be working on this real time, good work. Let us know if it fixes the problem, I think it will.
