brake question
ever since I installed Pepboys ceramic brake pads I've had a squeak when the car is rolling but as soon as you touch the pedal lightly or side load the wheel (making a turn) the squeak stops until everything is back normal.
Also, the brakes make an audible clank just before the car comes to a complete stop.
This weekend I removed all the pads, looked for abnormal wear on the caliper housing and pads backing plate and saw none. I cleaned everything and applie Permatex Brake Quiet to the backside of all the pads and the noises are gone.
What could have been the cause of it? All the anit-reattle clips are there and not bent. I did this once before and the Permatex lasted for about a year......any ideas? I thought maybe the backing plate was too small allowing the pads to shift and move but the side to side play is only 15 thousandths of an inch
thanks for your input
