When I back up and go to stop I hear a bang or pop sound coming from the passanger side front brakes I believe. My vehicle just passed inspection and prior I replaced the ball joints and wheel bearing and the brake clips that hold the pads. The brakes seem to stop fine and then everythign passed inspection. I'm just concerned by this poping or banging sound I hear. Its like either the pad shifts and bangs or smacks against the rotor. All stoping power feeling fine just the noise. Any idea what this is? Should I be alarmed? thanks
Brakes? Yeah, problems there ALWAYS get my attention.......
I would check all the bolts, and make sure they are all nice and tight. Since you just had everything off, you may have missed something, or, something may have just worked itself loose.
Did you change the universals on the front when you had it apart?
If yes I'd say a needle bearing went in wrong.
are the universals your talking about the clips for the brake pads? if so yes. I dont know how it could be wrong they are on just like the ones were on before

I know everything is tight. I cranked the bolts in there. But I did just think the bolts that are in the calipers could possibly be the problem for starters. The bolts on the passanger side that came out are different lengths and the one had a allen head on it so obviously it was stripped to all **** and I had to take it out with channel locks. the other bolt looked all shady also.
Could anyone tell me what size caliper bolt threads I should have and the length. Thats going to be my first bet and I'm going to replace all of them because I'm not so sure there are even the rite ones in the drivers side either.
