    Hello,

    I want to get a new hardware kit fo my front disc brakes to stop brake pad rattling. Any suggestions on a good kit and place to get one?

    Thanks!

    Not sure if the anti-rattle clips are on. Could always get new ones to see if it helps. Where can I get them separately?

    I had new hardware on mine, still rattled.. I finally found
    a set of pads with shims and that ended the rattling..

    I doubt you'd be able to buy that little clip separately, maybe someone might have one off their car when they swap the pads, or just buy another set of pads, they are cheap. Or pill the pads, and put some anti-rattle compound on what you have.

    Got my new clips at Napa. I don't remember the price but they were dirt cheap.

    I've bought the clips separately in the past.
