Default front brake question

Ok i changed my pads on my 05 the other day, everything seemed fine,now i noticed this morning that the left front seems to be something like a humming noise,almost like a dragging noise but on and off as the wheel is rotating.. also if i apply some brake it goes away!!! plus when i stop from a redlight ect, the left front seems to make like a light clunk noise when i take my foot off the brake almost the pads are shifthing in the caliper.i didnt pull the wheel off yet but by looking seems ok.. just dont understand how in the beginning it was ok..also does not pull to one side when applying the brakes.

Did you replace the little metal clips that push the pads away from the rotor? If not that is probably what the problem is...

Yep, my first thought was the little clips too. Sometimes they can get damaged or lost when taking the old pads out--maybe you never even saw them--and the pads are a little loose. I know, happened to me once lol
