Keith Browning Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Anyone else seeing issues with front brakes rattling on 2008 Econolines? I have a customer with a fleet of vans that are rattling, replaced front pads to get new anti rattle clips and discovered the clips are not really well designed or effective. They work at first but they appear to weaken and collapse. I know my SM is involved and may have contacted the Hot-Line and ordered new linings for this customer. SM on vacation... not sure if there is supposed to be new clips or some change but the parts I put on were identical to the ones I removed. *and* I also noted on the pre repair road test that the brake pedal was low on first application and pumped up on a second application. The wheel bearings were a little looser than I would have liked and I am not sure if that was causing this concern or whether the clips had anything to do with it. I adjusted the bearings, the noise is gone and the pedal is nice... ... but for how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Meanwrench Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Had some missing anti rattle clips on a couple 2008's All of them needed to have wheel bearings preloaded @ 500 miles when I took delivery. The bearings are still okay @ 52,000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
