Some do some don't some also use a spacer plate between the pads and the caliber. Some just use that "anti squeek" paste.. A rattle probably means that the pistons in the calibers are not maintaining proper tension on the pads. Disc brakes are made to keep the pads out to almost the rotors temselves with about .005" clearence during nonuse. That's one of the reasons they work quicker then shoes. One of the causes of the clearence being to much is a loose wheel bearing allowing the rotor to wobble some or warped rotors. Both slowly push the pads/pistons away from the rotors causing excessive clearence and rattles. : I have taken the rotor off ,taken it down and had it checked (turned) it was ok I've bled the system to no avail,the pads were checked by my mech. he said they were fine. It has no retaining clip on it. Should there be ???
