Rattling from front caliper ?

[cornishsunrise]

At low speed over bumpy surfaces my front caliper makes annoying rattling sound....any ideas ? ( brakes are functioning as normal )

If its worn then that could be it, the calliper is fixed on one side and the other slides on pins, these can wear or it could be they just need lubing

I’ve not had this problem before, but as well as the slider pins I’d also check the pads for wear or poor fit, and also check that the pad-spring hasn’t become bent or distorted. The pad-spring is supposed to help eliminate rattle. See item 7 in diagram below:

There plenty of good videos on youtube showing how to remove the caliper and change the pads etc.

Changed the pads, new pad spring , and pad pin. Old slider pins look ok. Still the rattle that sounds like it's from a plastic part? Can't find anything loose, strange one. Well at least the brake is ace ! Thanks for your replies.
