Front axle woes

There has been a rattle coming from the front axle for a few days that has been a pain to diagnose. After some work which include replacing all the wheel bearings (they needed doing anyway) and driving in tight circles with my head out of the window listening for the CV's, I have come to the conclusion its the brake pads moving. The pads have a lot of space to move and the fixings dont really hold them in place properly. There are some anti rattle springs fitted but they are not very good at what they are supposed to do. I am planning to replace the pads with some genuine Land Rover ones that might fit better.
