Default Are back brake pads suppose to rattle when low?

Hello guys,

I got a 98 GS400 and my back outer brake pad seems to rattle on every bump. And for some reason i think its just the left one that i hear although the right one is a little loose to but the left is really loose. its like just wobbles in there when i reach in and move it yet the inner pad is tight. is this normal?

Its really annoying and very embarrassing.

For starters get the rear fit kit for your brakes. That'll probably fix all your rattles. Sewell sells it on their accessories page for your car. Here's the page:
