Hey there -
I had a similar situation with my old Brand G pickup... I had someone
else turn the rotors and change the pads, and they neglected to use the
"anti-rattle" clips on the brake pads. Subsequently, every time I went
over any kind of bumpy terrain, I'd hear "chatter,chatter, chatter" as
the brake pads bounced around... Also if your rotors are warped, they
can "grab" the pad as the warped section turns, and cause a rattle that
way also.... Good luck!

Subject: RE: Front end loose, rattles
Brake pads or calipers quite often will rattle. If it is the pads new
ones
with a healthy coating of RTV on the backs should stop the noise. If it
is
the caliper rattling either the caliper itself, the mounting bushings
and/or
caliper support are worn and you will likely need to replace those parts.
