Sean, the vendars all carry them and the price is reasonable.  I had the
same rattle for a long time before I found out what it was.

Oh, I didn't see that it was missing. It must have fallen off somewhere.
Anyone have an extra on lying around I can get?

yesterday and went for a drive. My right rear brakes are rattling in the
clips causing a very loud noise I can hear from the driver seat. I think i
cleaned too much old grease and gunk off of the brake pins and now there is
too much play in the holes on top of each pad. There seems to be one spot as
the rear disk comes around the brake pads get tight and lift up then drop on
the pins causing the rattling noise. I think even if my disk was perfectly
flat (probably needs to be turned) I would still get this rattling going on.
I didn't notice this at all before I decided to take them apart. Any ideas
on how to stop the pads from moving up and down and causing the noise?
