I noticed that after i installed my big brakes i hear a bit of rattling up front when i hit bumps. I also noticed that if the brakes are applied when going over the bumps there's no rattle. I double checked the brakes and everythings still nice and tight. Any idea's what i should be looking for?

Thanks

Sounds like a loose pad or rotor. I would recommend just goin back and rechecking your double check. :dsm:
 
Were the anti-rattle clips installed?


Yes all the anti-rattle clips were installed but i did notice that my dual caliper pads don't fit as snug up against them as my old single caliper pads did. There was almost no play in between the rattle clips and pads on the single piston calipers i removed.
