Front Brake Pads Rattle

Hi guys,

I have a 2002 Maxima. Both front sides of the brake pads rattle sometimes especially the left side(rattle sound is more noticeable at night when it's quite outside, and it usually happens during acceleration). It stopped for about 2 months after I had replaced them with new pads, but now it is starting to come back again (again especially the front left).

So are there some kind of anti-rattling clips or springs for this car?

Thank You

If is akebono or after market pads comes with this metal shim.

Make sure that the baffle plate is away from the front rotor.
