Noisy caliper

I have a new front brake caliper from Auto Zone. The inner brake pad rattles when driving, very irritating. Any suggestions? THX

You need to attach the antirattle clip. Might be still attached to your old pads, could have feel off while ago, or fell off when you took capliper off and not noticed it. Its a little piece of bend melt that works like a spring. Keeps tension on the pad. You can go back to auto zone and get them. Only a few cents. Notice they rattle when you hit a bump and don't rattle when you apply the brake?
