| Anyone had issues with the chrome brake plates dropping out from their caliper as the clamps do not clamp any more?
I have tried to squeeze them a bit with pliers to help them push into position but both front and rear rattle and could jam the caliper if they do move out of position, not a nice prospect on the Motorway/Freeway at 70MPH!

| Are you talking about the pad shims or the caliper mount little metal shims? Caliper has mount has 2 and caliper has that one in center to push on pads. # 7 or # 9 those parts are cheap $ 6 US buy new ones and forget about it. |

| Whichever of these might be causing the rattle, I'm sure they can't move once the pads (and shims) are all in place. They might rattle but I doubt if anything could fall out. |
