Clacking sound in front brakes
Well, I have pinpointed the sound in my front end. There is a clacking sound in my front brakes. It does not happen all the time, but if the truck is parked overnight and I try to back out of my driveway, as soon as I go from putting it into reverse and taking it off the brake, I hear a clack sound. Sometimes the clack happens when i apply the brakes in the same situation.
But if I try to repeat the sound, it will not happen. Maybe 1 in every 10 times I can get it to make the sound.
Do you guys think I need new calipers? The brake pads are only 1 year old and the shims were properly greased when i put the pads on. They are the duralast gold brake pads. I hae a set of monroe ceramics that i will probably throw on when i do my oil change this weekend.

I wonder if it isn't just the inboard pad shifting in the caliper? Should be able to get the noise to repeat by driving one direction, and applying the brakes so you come to a smooth stop, and then changing directions...... Maybe?
