    Brake slap, clunk call it what you want. The rattle clip is off. Mine came off twice! Take wheel off and look down. You'll see "W" shaped clip out of its hole(s) in the pad. Put it back in and it will stay until you brake really hard. I'm replacing mine with a new clip as it came off today again! Clunk, Slap, muffled rattle. And yes it WILL hurt things as your pad(s) on that side will wear uneven. Let me try to post a picture I found online of this clip - see that clip on top of the caliper? Look at yours - you'll see at least one side out of place. (THIS PICTURE WAS "BORROWED" FROM A TUNDRA THREAD).

    P.S. I "Borrowed" that picture from a Tundra thread as an example - that's not my Tacoma brake shown.

    I see some are doing the “dual anti rattle clip” mod. The put a second one on the bottom.
