Front Caliper Rattle

SYMPTOM

A rattling noise coming from the front of the car when driving over rough surfaces. The noise goes away with light application of the brakes.

PROBABLE CAUSE

The front brake pad retainers do not apply enough pressure to the pads, allowing them to rattle.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the pad retainers on both front calipers with the new parts listed under PARTS INFORMATION.

1. Remove the front brake pads, shims and retainers. Refer to page 19-7 of the service manual.

2. Install the new pad retainers in the caliper bracket.

3. Install the brake pads and shims. To ease installation, insert the pad in the bottom retainer. Depress the tang on the top retainer with a small screwdriver and push the brake pad into place.

4. Pivot the caliper over the pads and install the caliper bolt.

5. Repeat this procedure on the other front caliper.
