Brake pads rattling...how 2 fix?

[Matt Weiser]

I have the 12" front brake upgrade (via the Robert Adams kit) with PFZ brake pads. The pads rattle like crazy over bumps and it's driving me nuts. How can I shut those things up? Any special springs or shims I can install, or spooge to smear on the calipers/pads?

Thanks!

I didn't have this problem with my GN, but I did with my Impala SS.

What I did was use a new anti-rattle clip on the inside pad and I actually used a hammer and a punch to push down the 2 tabs on the outer brake pad so that it was tight in the caliper. After I did those things, no more rattle!

Hope this helps,

Try the disc brake anti-squeek goop you get at the auto parts store, works for me.

I had the same problem on a monte ss, I used a bigger anti-rattle clip.
