Rattle From Rear Caliper

[jure]

Happened once when I was changing rear brake pads. The rattling noise started under any braking power but just for first 10-15 times and stopped afterward. Rattle appeared again when I lowered torsion bar and removed brake pad holders for repaint. This time is bit different situation. Knocking starts only under light braking. When i pull my handbrake just tooth or two the rattle stops. Any suggestions since I haven looked whats going on yet... The discs are new so do not think they are bent or something. Pads have not more than 3000 miles.

Thanks

could be a warped disc!

loose pads? could be rattling under the pressure till theres enoth to hold the pads firmly against the disc and caliper?

Thought I'd re-use this one, rather than open a new thread.
Only today I've noticed not so much a rattle, but a slight knock from the passenger side rear brake. It only happens on light braking.
The pads, discs, bearings and shocks were all changed last year so I'm hoping its none of those.

Any ideas of where to look guys?

Mucho's thanko's :)

Have you got the anti rattle clips fitted to the pads ???

I'll have a look at the clips after work.
They were there last week before it went for an MOT but you never know.

Thanks for that guys :agree:
