Narrowed down my rattle.

On my rear calipers on my 280zxT both sides can be juggled when I shake them. Even though they are bolted on tight. Is there such a thing as bushings or even the bolts that mount them wearing to the point to cause play to the point of making them rattle. BTW I rebuilt the rear drivers side last year and no such thing came in the package.

Its hard to look cool driving down the street or out of a parking lot with that clicking sound.

I remeber from mine that there are two little plastic tabs that fit between the actual caliper and the metal surround bracket. I hope that makes sense, but it may be that those little white tabs are missing.

Len,

 

Make sure you have all the anti-rattle clips in place that shoudd help some. One thing that I have seen on the ZX rear brakes is that there is just a very slight movment of the pad in the caliper. This movement in time wears away the metal on the pad and they begin to click or rattle while driving down the road. If you hit the brake the noise will go away. Also try replacing the pads and the noise should go in the trash with the old pads.

Thanks guys!

I rebuilt my drivers side caliper along with new pads and rotors last year. Also I have the clips top and bottom of pads.

I remember a plate next to the inside pad but don't remember any plastic spacers. But I really think Its just gotta be the pins/bushings that the the bolts that hold the calipers on is just worn (what the little rubber boot goes around). I will pick up set of 4 at O'reilly's tonight for $6.90. If that isn't it then I hope its not the hole in the calipers that the pin/bushing goes into. Cause that would require rebuilt calipers ($29.90 each).

I try the pins first.
