I just noticed that one of mine was doing the same thing this weekend. but i dont think that it will hurt anything if you can put up with a little rattle.

Mine did it and it was very annoying after awhile. I took black zipties and went around the "black tab". It cleared all the rattleing and no problem since

I used a little bead of blue silicone along the edge between the a-arm and the clip. It does the trick and can be remove easy for replacement.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
