Are you sure it's not the sliding part of the caliper that's rattling? My Senator had a caliper that was worn on the sliding pin which caused a rattle.

Remotely diagnosing a brake problem could have nasty consequences if you are unfamiliar with what is 'normal'. .....

I wasn't dagnosing  :-?, just offeringa suggestion based on personal experience.   

Oops, sorry, sloppy quoting on my part.

I intended to repeat what you wrote (because it is a serious possibility) but then add that the OP needs to watch out for other things too.

Hi everyone

Would these be ok to buy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Omega-94-04-FRONT-ROLL-BAR-DROP-LINK-RODS-x-2-/360254644145?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53e0d99fb1

the clattering noise is getting worse. haven't had a chance to look yet but im thinkin, while im under there with the wheels off, do the drop links anyway if they're that cheap and easy to do....they are easy, right??

Cheers
Dan
