Rear Caliper Rattle
Anyone else have this problem? It seems my rear calipers rattle pretty loudly when the brakes are not applied. It goes away instantly when I apply the parking brake or foot brake. This is only noticeable when the windows are down.
It seems as if the pistons in the calipers are retracting too far. This allows the caliper to be 'loose' on its mounting bolts. Ive tried resetting them by pushing the pistons in and then reapplying the brakes, but it comes back exactly as before.
Its almost as if Im missing a retaining spring or something. Can someone post a bentley diagram of the rear S8 brakes? Any other suggestions?
