Rattling Brake Pads (rear)

[Jan van de Wouw <jvdwouw@xxxx>]

Hello all,

Yesterday I discovered a slight rattle at my left rear wheel
when rolling. Since it disappeared when I touched the brakes
ever so slightly (not slowing the car) I gathered it was the
brake pads rattling.
When checking for this I discovered my guess to be right, and
found one of my wheelstuds to be stripped, so I had to replace
that one with one I fortunately still had lying around on my
broken hub carrier.

But here's what surprised me; there were no anti rattle shims
on the calipers on either side... Ths front DOES have them.
I can't seem to find them in the partsmanual either.
Even more surprising is that the rattle isn't the pads rattling
against the cilinders or rotor, but on the retaining pins.

Can anyone tell me what I can try to solve this?
I think leaving it this way will cause the rattle to become
even worse over time, but replacing the pads while still good
is kind of a waste in my opinion. Maybe replacing the pins?
Anyone know a cross-over for this so I don't have to order
just two pins from overseas? If I had to costs would be tripled
or more by the time I'd have them...

Thanks in advance,
