Condition
Some customers may comment about a rattle type noise coming from the front of the vehicle. This noise usually occurs at vehicle speeds under 48 km/h
(30 mph) and while driving over bumps. The noise can usually be eliminated by a light application of the brake pedal.

This condition may be caused by too much clearance between the front brake caliper bracket and the caliper pins in the bottom of the bracket bores.
Correction
Install front brake caliper service kits to both sides of the vehicle using the following service procedure. Each kit contains 2 pins, 2 boots, and 2 packets
of grease.
Service Procedure

Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2.
Remove both the front tire and wheel assemblies.
3.
Hand tighten 2 wheel nuts to retain the rotor to the hub.
