Disc brake hardware
 
I'm looking for the disc brake hardware specifically the brake pad anti-rattle clips front and rear. I do not have a Lexus dealer anywhere near me and so far parts stores cannot get just the hardware unless I buy the pads which are brand new all around. I just need the clips for all four wheels to stop the pad rattle when I go over bumps. Maybe the clips are made by aftermarket and the parts people do not know how to look them up, I do not know but if you have a part number that would help out greatly.

Thanks, James

No it is not that. The noise goes away when I apply the brakes.

I just reuse the clips and apply new grease to them and reinstall. Quiet as a mouse. Maybe just try putting some grease between the pad and clip.

Keep in mind that the strut rod keeps the wheel in fore/aft position in the wheel well. When you apply the brakes the wheel will be forced to it's most rear point as the rest of the car is trying to pass the front wheels. If there is any slack in the strut rod bushing, it will be taken up during the braking process until the car slows. That's not too far fetched of an idea.

It is not the strut rod. I have been a mechanic for over 15 years. The clips are missing. Not trying to be rude, it just looks that way:p
