civic vti brake rattle
hi guys thanks for the help on my other issue got a new one to pick
your brains with, recently i ve noticed a rattle from my rear brakes on exploring all the bushes and replacing them!!!! i found that the brake pads a were a slight smaller, they would fit in but they had movement after putting the caliper back on. there is movement from side to side as it is not a perfect fit as they are not long enough to fit tight, i have put aftermarket pad and original Honda pads replaced all shims and anti rattle plates but no joy. have you guys got any idea to solve this as it really bugs me when i go over a cobbled round or an uneven road surface. would any other pads from Honda do the trick? heelllllppppp! |
Re: civic vti brake rattle
is it possible that someone changed the calipers to a bigger size?

This spring is made of sheet stainless steel. When you install the caliper, the spring must be compressed (you need to push down on the caliper) before you can put the caliper mounting bolts into the pins. If the spring is missing or deformed, it will not clamp the pads down and the pads will rattle. I have also seen the ends break or wear off the springs, to the same effect. The good part about this is that the rattle shows your caliper pistons are obviously working correctly! -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
