Brake calliper rattle

Recommended Posts

Hi guys...I have an 08 Avensis d4d with 130k miles the front brake callipers rattle a lot in rough ground. I have changed the slider pins with after market ones but only helped for a week and now it's  as bad as ever. Have greased them too and this helps for a day! Would genuine slider pins help? Or is there any other cure for this annoying problem?

there is ( quite close to spring metal) brake pad guide shaped metal inserts

they go between the cast calliper and the brake pad

bet you have one or more missing

you usually get these with new callipers and not seperate

it is an annoyance but not lethal and your best getting salvage from a breaker

 

stupid fitters lose them or chuck them thinking they are a nuisance

due to new brake pads being tight on fitting causing brake drag

when if you know what you are doing

remove these during a pad change

clean rust build up off cast calliper

clean these (shims/sliders)

refit with copperslip or suitable silicone grease or whatever you use

fit new pads nicely

bing bang bosh

some folk just need educated
