yeah, its like a heavy click when i hit the brakes and its a softer click when i let off the brakes... its more annoying than harmful, but i suppose after time it would become a problem...

That's your caliper and your pad..... silicone your pad to the caliper and no more noise.

Hey Greg, RXTbone is having similar problems with the front end during low speed turns, I think it might just be some of those halloween spirits acting up. Check it again on Saturday, it may fix itself.

there are little spring clips in the caliper that keep the pads from squeaking and cliking.... cange those out with new ones, sometimes they arent even there!!

also check your caliper and bracket bolts to make sure they are nice and snug. i just serviced a protege with the bolts missing. haha, i thought it sounded funny coming to a stop.
