Rattling Brake Pads

Post by cobraBLACK » Sun Jul 03, 2011 11:17 pm

I've had this horrible noise when going over medium-sized bumps in the S4 recently.

I had it in the garage on Friday and they could hear the noise but struggled to find the source.

The only thing they could find was that the nearside front brake pad sits a little loose - but there's nothing wrong with it. No idea what make they are (probably OEM)

Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

it appears the pads were slightly smaller on the ones they sent me and the rattled in the calipers.

took ages to find
