Can someone send me a picture of where the possible trouble spots are that are causing my brakes to rattle when I hit bumps? I have done all the research of symptoms and know its the front brakes rattling but Im a little unclear as to where exactly to find this clip on the caliper that is supposed to keep the pads from rattling. Thanks.

i just got the caliper bushings at pepboys (OEM) for 5.00 for the whole set of 4.

very easy to replace.

you can go with what ever you want. if you want the stainless steel ones you can save 15.00 from that company above and go with maximum motorsports instead. 30.00 there for them

or you ca go the route i went and just got the rubber bushings from pep boys for 5.00 for the whole set of 4. your car came with them on it so why not save money unless YOU would benefit more from the SS sleeves
