I noted in the FAQS that there is a TSB 51907 that concerns the problem of rattling front calipers for this car. My problem is not broken pad springs, and even with shims in I get rattle with good aftermarket pads. I have also replaced the standard caliper pins. Does anybody know about this TSB? I gather that there may be different sized caliper pins to fix the annoying problem. Part #'s? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Are the bolts, which attach the caliper holding bracket to the strut, tight?

      Yes, the caliper bracket bolts are tight to specs. I pressure bled the front, also, thinking this might be related -- actually got alot of air out of one side(right side), but there was no effect on the rattle.

    Obsolete, NLA on the pins. The fix is new calipers I was told, before I discovered it was the pad springs in my case.
