Parking brake issue

My car has developed an annoying rattle when going over bumps. After taking apart the rear brake I saw that part # 109 referred to as "expansion lock" in the documentation is loose and rattling about. Anyone know how I should approach this?

The parking brake adjustment under the rear seat seems pretty tight. The expansion lock is only loose on the right side.

Might have to replace it. It might have expanded too much or warped. Or part 111 the spring might not be tight anymore

i have the same issue, mine started last week when i went to look at some rims, I used the lug nuts that the guy said he used on his benz. But when I test drove my car with the rims on it i heard a clicking popping sound. When I took the tires back off my car started making a squealing rubbing sound after 5 mins. of driving. It still does it off and on. So Im sure it was from the lug nuts. Any ideas would be great. Also I ordered a 15mm wheel adaptor any suggestion on what length bolt I should use.

Is it me or is part 111 fragile? It broke and so my parking brake doesn't engage anymore. Haven't gotten around to it yet.
