Brake Pad Rattle on Puma
I have seen it mentioned that on early Pumas the brake pads rattled, I have a 2008 and I think that the rattle I have is from the brake pads, when I press the brakes it stops.

What I can't seem to find is any mention of a suitable fix, doe anyone know if its the pins or the anti rattle shims, should they be replaced or just taken out and tweaked.

I am not sure. The truck had done 56,000 when I brought it and its now done 59,000 and has rattled since I had it. The Pads front and back look quite thick so I don,t think they are original. It could be that who ever did the pads did not put a dad or copper grease on them or fitted the shims wrong.

I plan to pull them apart for a look, but wanted some suggestions first.

It'd be worth doing a search but I remember at least one person solving it by putting a blob of weld on the back of the pads, which seemed a bit extreme to me Confused Darren

It could be that they just need lubing up on the parts required such as the pins. It may also not be helped by perhaps* thy are cheap aftermarket pads which don't have anti-rattle shims. I've got a set bought just the other day EBC Green stuff and they have anti rattle shims. Will post a photo if it helps? ___\â­ï¸Lone|Star|State/___

Are you sure its the pads that are rattling and not the brake shields? --

Slightly OT but do the EBC Green stuff pads give a better 'bite' when braking?

Now I have converted to auto I am finding the brakes a tad weak at times due to more use of brakes on hills etc and in traffic BM52

Off Topic Not sure yet as I haven't got them fitted. From what I've heard they must be good and so thought I'd give them a go. Thumbs Up

I had the same rattle / clunk. I changed the pads for the latest LR version with no further problems. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Thanks for all the replies, I am as sure as I can be that its one or more of the Pads, the rattle is on bumpy roads and seems to stop when braking, no more rattle with the brake pedal pressed.

I will investigate the cost of genuine Landrover replacements as done nidge n I think.

Thanks again to all for the replies.

Around £118 there about's for a full set all in on a 90. I have found with my current pads (soon to be changed) that they are making the more regular squeak or noise as they have got older and reduced life. A progressive age thing really. Just seems to get worse not better. ___\â­ï¸Lone|Star|State/___
