Thanks for reply. i checked that its all clear got a mate to jump on the tow hook and all clear ... the wierd thing is it does not do it while i am braking or sk=lightly touching the brake.... my Jeep dealer wants to charge mega just to look at it..... it must be the braking system if it dont do it while using brake.... is it some thing stupid or am i losing the plot.....

If the caliper pins to the caliper bushings has exessive play on it, you will need to replace the bushings then re-test. Some of the GC's has a clip that attaches on the outboard of the caliper. these clips are called an anti-rattle clips.
