I have noisy rear calipers. They seem to be loose and the brake pads rattle on curtain bumps. I have replaced everything possible I think?
The things I've replaced - struts, springs, strut mounts, sway bar linkage, sway bar bushings, (all this was before figuring out that it was the calipers rattling)
And then the brake pads, calipers bolts, caliper sliders, and after all that I changed the calipers themselves and still the rattle. I was just hoping
maybe someone would know what it could be other than what I listed if so it would be much appreciated.

change the pad back.

I had that problem when i did my d/s rotor conv. And it turned out to be a defective pad/the pad tab was deformed. If you've got the clips holding right, and it makes a rattle/poping noise when you're breaking, then try to change the culprit pads back and see if it dont stop.

the tap deforming can happen in MANY ways, so it's a rather simple thing to try.

Good luck with that.
