Low speed clacking is pissing me off!

Jacked em up to have a look.
The brake shoe is slapping around in caliper.
The more it wears, the more loose it becomes from tapered stamping design.

Video extension is pissing me off too and quit looking at my rust damnit!

You could fit a dime I swear.

I might not even take it apart first.

Regarding noises from the front brakes: if you still have problems, you can "glue" the pads with a little silicon RTV to the caliper. I often saw this as a tip for granada brakes, which are the same design than our mustang brakes.

This sounds like good advice, but not as much fun as hitting it with a hammer.

Your right! Always use your hammer first, than some glue.

Count your blessings. Living in paradise like that and all. We typically don't see the sun for all of November. Then December comes and when we see the sun it's so cold and cruel. But it makes ice...there is that. Nice picture. Thanks.
