Rattling from the rear

[Mattjin]

Hi

My Lexus has started making a very annoying rattling sound from the rear. When driving at slow speeds i hear it very loud. It goes away if i press the break pedal very ligthly. Does anyone have a idea what is causing this?

EDIT: The topic name are full of typos. I really dont know how that happend .. Coud a admin fix that please

try stripping and greasing the slides and pads mate that usually sorts it. :winky:

[Mattjin]

Thanks mate. I will try that :) I also think i will buy new droplinks. Looks like good investment

well if the droplinks are not needed i dont think there will be any point in buying them?

[Mattjin]

There are some other knocking/rattling sounds when I drive over bumps too, so I think it may be worth a try:)

Is there a guide/howto strip slides/pads? I'm not a mechanic but I have tools and i can do it myself i someone tells me how :)

Might want to check front ball joints & sway bar links as well.

Ok, now I know what the problem is:

Looks like I need to buy a anti rattle clip. Do I need anything more? Do you know the part number of the clip?? Eventualy where to buy this? Thanks for the help so far, you guys are the best :D

EDIT: The holes on the brake pads are way bigger than the pad guide pin. Shoud it be like that??

Ok, went to the local Toyota dealer today and he orderd a kit for me. Will get it in a couple of weeks :)

Tried to put the anti rattle clip on today but the D**N thing did not fit. Can anyone confirm that I have the wrong parts, the partnumber on the parts i have are 04948-30071 and the clips look like this:

My is is a 2000 model.

Not sure if this will help but when I bought the kit for my rear brakes there were 2 very similar kits to choose from.

One kit had a few more parts than the other but included all the other kits parts so would just be some bits left over.

The parts guy came out to my car to check which one looked correct. My car is 2001. The kit I got was no. 04948-30080

So if your kit has some parts which are not on your car then I think just replace the parts you have and leave the rest out.

They look right to me. There's a bit of a trick to fitting the anti rattle clips. I know it took me a few goes to get them on right when I had my pads out a few months ago.
