Brakes - Apparent Rattle From Front Suspension


SOURCE: Acura Service News

TITLE: Rattle From the Front Suspension

APPLIES TO: 05 RL

SERVICE TIP:

Too much clearance between the brake pads and the brake caliper on a '05 RL can cause a nasty rattling when driving on rough roads. We're working on a S/B to permanently fix this problem, but until its posted on ISIS, here's a temporary fix that will get your client back on the road.
1. Remove the front brake pads.
2. Bend the springs in the caliper about 4 mm so they apply pressure against the ends of the pads.
3. Apply Molykote M77 grease to the ends of the pads.
4. Reinstall the pads.
