Rattle in right rear after pads and rotor replaced
I replaced rear pads and rotors and now I have a rattle in the right rear wheel; when I apply the brakes the noise stops, I'm guessing I didn't put it back together properly; any suggestions?

Suggestion: put it back together properly... 8-)
Use the other side as a reference. Could be a mis-allignment of the RR pads. Clean the path the pads travels thouroughly. Make sure it can move smoothly.

Check the retaining springs, if they are installed correctly they apply pressure downward toward the caliper bracket. There should be no rattle.
