Has anyone had a problem of front brake caliper rattle on rough road conditions ?

New GM pads replaced and rotors turned.
Thanks for any help.

It may not be the caliper. Tighten them just to be sure.

My front stabilizer bar was loose causing the same effect. Jack up the front and pull one tire off. Look at the front stabilizer bar and the rubber bushings that support it. If there is a space around the rubber, it may be causing the front stabilizer bar to rattle.

Thanks for the tip.
Checked it out you were right . Stabilizer link was loose.
Will replace and let you know.
