Is this the noise I was looking for? Is this normal

Featured Replies

Shook the brake calliper and filmed the noise inside the car. I don’t think the other side made this noise but is this normal? 

Not normal. Something is loose. Eithert the caliper or some other suspension component.

The noise is when I hold the break calliper and move it forward and back. 

Brake calipers should not move at all. They are solidly bolted to the steering knuckle (7).

The pads inside can move and may have some play but not enough to clack. Can you upload a photo of what you are moving?

I have taken a video of what I am doing and you can hear the noise 

I can get mine to make a little noise doing that, a lot less than yours. Can you feel the caliper frame (3) moving?

 

The part you can grab is on guide pins that can slide, to allow the outer caliper frame to slide in and out, you are probably feeling/hearing play in that? 

 

 

It's probably OK, but why not pull the wheel off and check all the bolts are good. The caliper bracket itself should be solid and not move at all (check the video above)
