Front Brakes Are Rattling
2008 GX470.
I replaced the front calipers with aftermarket ones from Auto Zone. They came with new slide pins, clips and the anti rattle spring. I put in new OEM brake pads with the calipers. I reused the existing shims as they were in good shape.
Now when I hit a bump the front left pads are rattling. The anti rattle spring is installed properly. The only real issue I noticed is that the slide pins move back and forth very easily and there is a little bit of wiggle room for them in the holes through the caliper.
Any ideas what could be wrong or where to start?

Throw some lube on the slide pins as well, might quiet them down. Almost sounds like a cheap hardware kit gave you slide pins that are too skinny and rattle? Maybe an OEM hardware kit is the better answer?
