Brake Caliper Play/Rattle

[BarryClio]

Hi guys!

Well, to the point.

My brake caliper rattles constantly going over uneven road, potholes, cats eyes.

The rattle seems to be the wheel side of the caliper striking the brake pad.

The noise is absent when the brakes are pressed, even slightly so it's definetly a braking fault.

I have (or my brother in-law has) changed the slider pins and rubber boots on the pins.

Noise it still there,

He reckons a knackered carrier? (Expensive part @ £90 so second opinion) ?

There is no fluid leak etc

Brake pads are good, and roters dont look or feel worn.

The left hand side caliper is solid as it should be!

Thanks for any help!



Edit to add: I can move the caliper and re-create the rattle by hand!

I have same problem. It's so annoying..
Has anyone found the way to fix it?

Have you tried greasing the caliper sliders?

 

[MDimants]

I did that when I changed brake pads last time.
I gonna have a look at them next weekend

Sliders could be worn, but that would be just a slightly educated guess.

i greased the sliders with copperslip and bent the anti rattle springs on the pad further out and it seems to have sorted the problem, i replaced the sliders and it didnt make a difference, so try greasing em up with some high heat grease and see if that works, before you replace the sliders...
