    Rattle From Rear Caliper

    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

    Re: Rattle From Rear 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?

    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
