What is causing play in front rotor?

[YELOSNK]

I was investigating what sounded like a metal on metal, loose clunking sound I'd get when going over bumps. Ended up being the pin in the front left caliper bracket. Seemed either slightly too small or didn't have whatever pressure on it that it should.

I then noticed that moving the wheel back and forth is moving the entire caliper within the bracket. Any ideas what is causing this? Has the bracket somehow stretched?

A bit hard to see as the camera is moving, but can definitely hear it.

Looks like you are missing the clips

This. Some new clips should quiet things down.

thanks! We're talking about the anti-rattle clips, right? From the front I can see the one next to the pin that's got slop in it. I haven't checked if the rear one is there, but given the front pad is obviously moving and it has the clip, I'm a bit miffed. Do the clips go bad? I don't even think they're that old on the fronts.

New ones are cheap, though, so guess I'll give it a shot.

Clips on pad that go in caliper.

These i found are cheap on some pads

These actually hold caliper on.

I had caliper come loose and rub on wheel.

Rattle clips don't hold long.
You can bend them apart to get a tight fit ..

lo and behold, the 2nd, different clip that is affixed to the front pad is indeed broken. thanks!
