Rattling Brakes

James Riley · Post by **James Riley** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 8:45 pm

Hi Guys,

My brakes are rattling, I know it's the pads because when i press the brake pedal the rattling stops.

Is this a simple anti-rattle clip issue? I haven't looked yet, but my haynes manual makes no reference to it so I need to be sure of what i'm doing.

I just remember having this problem years ago on a panda, and having thought it was a costly job, it ended up being ill-fitted clips that when fixed solved the problem.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi James,

If the pads are loose within the calliper you can buy shims for them and they turn up on the bay from time to time, this will hopefully take the play out of the pads.

Hope this helps,

Sean

i would have taken a look on them anyway.as i have experienced that the brake-material actually loosende from the metal backing once. it's an easy job just jack up the car (and put in on axle stands.... as they ALWAYS says

) and then you should be able too feel see and feel where the ratling comes from.

Just a thought, how old are the disks, their design tolerance is 10mm new to 8mm scrap. The thinner they get the more the pads have room to rattle.

Can someone tell me what discs/pads ar required for the Ital 1.3, ie a catalogue number for either MIntex or Ferodo. No-one seems to list this and so I don't know which to get?

Cheers

Hi James,

The part number for the Pads is TAR810 Ferodo Target or FDB810 Ferodo Premier. Disks are 824621 Brake Engineering you will get these from Dingbro but you will need to hold an account or know someone who has an account with them as they donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t usually sell direct to the public. Failing that you may be able to obtain these parts from other good motor factors. We have an excellent spares department at Marina Ecossee so an email to Ray (Generally1) could see you having the parts you require

I hope this is of some use to you

Cheers,

Sean

If you are stuck, there are 2 sets of brake pads and one pair of Ital disks on Ebay right now.

If you put some copper grease on the back of the pads this can reduce noise as well.

I thought that that was for squeeking brakes?

Without hearing the problem first hand it could be several things. Yes copper grease does reduce sqeeking brakes but it could be a cheap and quick fix. Marina calipers are designed to compensate for worn pads, it could be one of the pistons is stuck or its bore corroded.
