Front Brake Pad Clunk
Hello,
I replaced the front and rear brake pads on my 2014 M6 GC. Everything went smoothly with the install and was happy with that. Over the next couple of days, I noticed when I would brake in a different direction, the front brakes would squeal and then I would hear a clunk; ie. reversing, brake *clunk*, then forward, brake *clunk. So the brake pads are moving slightly. When I investigated, I was able to recreate the sound by just moving the brake pad up and down. If you have replaced the front brake pads, you know that there are two guide pins in each caliper. Well that is what is causing the squealing sound; the brake pads moving and rubbing on those guide pins. I am really not sure what to do about the clunking and squealling sounding. I got OEM like Jurid brake pads, so I believe they should be fairly the same, if not identical. I was wondering what advice or tips anyone might have to help alleviate that clunking. From my research, I couldnt really find much on how to get rid of it. But I know its not necessarily bad, but its very annoying to have to hear every time I back out of the driveway or parking spot. Thank you! P.S. I forgot to mention, that if I go over a pothole or bump, I can hear the same squealing sound. So i think if the wheel moves up or quickly, the brake pad also moves and causing the squealing. Last edited by TychoBrahe; 11-19-2022 at 08:05 PM.. |
