Brake Rattle Over Bumps

[FBloggs]

Use a good sized screwdriver to gain a titch more clearance between each rotor and dust shield.

Are you referencing an older version of the torque spec pdf? They're supposed to be torqued to 48 ft lb. Probably not gonna solve your rattle but FYI.

Interesting, where did you find 48 ft lbs? Everywhere I looked said 81.

Shot in the dark, you have these clips installed on the caliper right?

Yes.

It is not the dust shield, I believe it is the inner pad ears hitting the caliper.

I just checked TIS and you're right. Front bolts are M12 and rear bolts are M10. 81 ft lbs for the M12 bolts and 48 ft lbs for the M10 bolts.

I think the torque spec pdf originally said 81 for all and then was updated. Now it says 48 for both. I'll fix it soon. Damn, I should also go double check my car. Apologies for the confusion!

This should not be happening. The pads ride in the abutment clips in the caliper carrier bracket. The pad ears should be a snug fit into those clips. If there is play then its likely a manufacturing tolerance issue with the Jurid pads.

If you got from fcp might be worth trying a different brand.

It fits snug on the outer side not the inner though
