#1: Rear Pad retainers/sliders rattling Author: cainw1, Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 5:12 pm ---- Hi there
Has anyone got any tips on how to stop the sliders/retaining pins on the rear calipers rattling?
If I try and move them they move forwards and backwards fairly easily but the pads are fixed well in position.
Incase I have got the term wrong its the metal bit that goes under the brake pads holding them in position.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Decent ones like Brembo, Ferodo or genuine PSA?
OR
Cheap s**te like Power Train, Drivemaster, EBC?

I have figured the problem out there are no anti rattle clips on the rear pads, so I have some coming tomorrow.
The point at which the pad rattles is exactly where the clip goes over the top so it should be gone after they are fitted!

#8: Re: Rear Pad retainers/sliders rattling Author: cainw1, Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2016 6:46 pm ---- Yep the big clips. Its weird because my old pads didn't rattle without them, but I can see if there was a clip on top it would stop these ones moving completely. Fingers crossed!
