no more rattle...woohoo

After trying most of everything I read on the boards about my rattling brakes, I was about to go insane.
Pulled them apart one more time, then thought to check the bushings around the caliper bolts.

Ater going to the local parts house and buying a 4.00 rattle b gone kit (new bushing kit for each side) I now am brake rattle free

:rockon: :rockon:
To those that tried to help or gave advise Thanks a bunch

This will work for PBR calipers but not the pre-'89 Iron calipers. Brake rattle on the older stlye has to do with the brake pad design. some fit tighter than others and don't rattle as much to make loud enough noises. No, silicone doesn't work an these either. Anything put onto the spots that rattle will hamper brake function and performance with the iron-caliper pads.
