Hey guys,

I have this rattling sound whenever I apply the brakes lightly in my '03 g35 coupe. It doesnt sound like a bad bearing or anything, but I am not sure what it is. Please check out the youtube link below and let me know what you think. It has been making this sound for a while now but appears to be getting louder. Heres the link:

So I took a look at the rear brake pads and when I put them back on and tightened the calipers up, they wouldn't tighten all the way. The 2 caliper bolts tighten as far as they can, but there is still a large amount of room between the calipers and the pads, about 1/4". Has anyone ever dealt with this issue before? Thanks

Not sure...but I'm by no means an expert. Check out the FSMs (link in my sig) for looking at the brake system.
