Default Brake rattle???

I installed new frt. rotors, calapers and pads about a month ago. This is the second set of rotors and third set of pads. My problem is this new set rattles and progressively gets worse the longer I drive. I have never had rattle clips on the other sets so I dont know if it came with them. The parts stores have never said I need them and manuals dont mention them.
Is this my problem, or something greater? Also seems to be only the pass side. I only figure it to be the frt. brakes because the rattle goes away if I drive while using the brakes and the rattle can be felt through the steering in turns. From time to time it also hangs up comming out of turns.
I'm starting to hate the brake systems on these things.

Never thought of that. Probable because it is a fix that may cost some $$$$

It may be the axel barring. I am having the same problem. Take the tire off and spin the rotor and if it feels rough that's your problem.
