The Rig

Had new (refurbed) 4 pots with new s/s pistons etc and new grooved discs with new redstuff pads fitted,all good for a mth or 2,but now,as soon as brake pedal is pressed i get a loud enough to hear in the car clunk from what seems the passenger side caliper,when the car is moving i only have to press the pedal lightly to get the sound,but when the car is stopped,pressing the pedal makes no sound

since i have aftermarket pads,im thinking of getting an original set of subaru 4 pot pad shims

any ideas otherwise ????

cheers

Is the pad retaining clip still in place, as the pads can make a lot of noise if theyr'e not held in place properly...?

yeah,still have the big centre clip in place,thats new as well,as well as the pad pins.

its only when car is moving which makes me think its pad noise and when stationary,no noise (as discs isnt moving pads i guess) if i pump the pedal when car moving,the noise is on off on off etc as i apply pressure to pedal

weird.

Is it a click or a knock, try to associate it with thin metal sounds (click) or thick dense metal sounds (knock) if that makes sense...?

Also can you feel it through the pedal or not...?

might be a ball joint worn or loose/worn wishbone bushes, sometimes a brake upgrade can show up other defects as there is now more braking force and stresses put on the cars bushings.

The sound is more of a click/clunk

i fitted new anti rollbar bushes track rod ends anti rollbar drop links so wouldnt of thought theres any bushes left that could be worn

will have a look around underneath and fit these pad shims i thinks
