Default Popping noise when braking

I have a 2005 Ram Hemi 5.7 L , i just did my brakes, rotors and pads. Now its making a popping noise from the front driver side while i brake like from 30MPH. I rechecked my work and everything looks right. Does anybody have a clue of what could be wrong.

Yeah i get it about every time i brake, and its just instantly. I step on the brake pedal and it pops just ones and it brakes normally.

so it only pops when you brake from 30mph?
maybe your pads are set in all the way?
new rotors or turned?

Yeah mostly but sometimes at lower speeds, their new rotors, and what you mean by pads set in all the way.

Did you check your wheel bearing hubs for any excessive play when you were changing brakes?
