Front calipers

[ViperPete]

I recently had my front calipers, rotors, pads, and brake lines replaced.

Now, at 5mph when i press the brake pedal lightly I hear a clunk clunk.

The pads are moving slightly when the pistons squeeze them... or something of that matter.

Braking performance is not affected, just this odd clunking at very slow speeds.

Any ideas?

Make sure everything is tight.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the calipers?

I was thinking something is loose allowing more movement.

Got them from Rock Auto.

They are quite beautiful actually. Fresh powdercoated red and everything.

Hope you got it figured out.

Also, you are the SOB who bought the last left front caliper RockAuto had. I am planning on replacing all of mine and have everything but the left front. :drool:

You must have bought it just before I ordered mine.

I got mine a month ago or so.

and....

Any ideas on the clunking sound?
