97 500 Xplorer/

My 97 Xplorer has the floating rear brake (disc floats I believe) and it rattles pretty bad, it gets annoying.
Any suggestions as to quiet that bugger down?

Take it apart and put silicone on the back of the pads, hit the brakes 2 or 3 times to set the pads and let the silicone dry, should quiet them down.

Its not the disc pads, its the disc its self that rattles.
It actually wobbles a bit.
