noises from rear

I swapped axles from my 87 GTA 10-bolt drum to a 9-bolt disc PBR from an 89 GTA and I cant solve my rattling problem.
If I kick the tires I can hear the rotor rattling, taken both rear wheels and calipers off numerous times and I still cant figure it out.
Everything is tight except the rotors, like they have little slack, enough to bang around, Any ideas?

Re: noises from rear

Are you sure you aren't hearing the slack in the axles from the c-clips? That's normal.

Aren't you sure you hearing the slack in the c-clips? Sometimes they can make a little racket.

9-bolts don't have c-clips

Re: noises from rear

I just did this swap myself and I was wondering if you replaced the portioning along with the rear end. I didn't replace the portioning valve and it seems to work fine but wonder if it would work better if I bought the 4 wheel disc non 1le portioning valve from hawks third gen

Yes. Different brake designs, different proportioning valves.
