Re: rattling noise over bumps = non-original brake pads??? (lando_pr)

The thing is I don't have the clips to put them back on. Where can I find those? |
No the clips are on the backing plates of the rear brake pad. They are designed to slide down onto the caliper piston. In the write up I explain that the first set I installed I bent the clips and then cut them off, which caused the rattle.
I recently bought a new set of pads and installed them correctly, and there are no more rattles coming from the rear calipers.
You will need new pads if the retention clips are missing but using non-OEM pads is not causing the issues, the bad install caused the rattles.
Here is a picture that shows the piston with the brake pad installed properly
And this is with the bad install. Notice that the pads are not attached to the piston like they are in the first picture? This is the reason they are rattling. They need the spring clip from the fist picture to "lock" on to the piston.
