Recently I redid my brakes, installed new Raybestos rotors, new pads. Car stops really well.

I am noticing as of this week that when coming to a stop, just before a complete stop I hear almost like a clicking noises until the car stops. I am almost certain it is from the left front wheel. I have double checked the tightness of the wheel and calipers, pads, hardware look fine. To top it off, I am also experiencing steering vibration starting around 70mph. I had the wheels balanced but still feel a vibration.

Any suggestions to what I should look for would be great. Thanks.

 

for the noise, do you have the base or akebono brakes? some have reported loose caliper components in the base brakes causing noise.

Also check to see if the dust shield got bent or there is any debris anywhere between the dust shield and rotor and is hitting the rotor...you might see a grove on the back of the rotor being worn in.

 

I have a xS sedan, so base brakes

 

Did you experience the vibration and clicking immediately after installing the new parts? Or was everything fine for a short time afterwards, and then appeared?

 

I want to say this started after the new parts, but I rarely driveway highway so I am not sure when the vibration started. I am positive the clicking noise when pressing the brake was not there before new rotors. I think I need to double check that hardware is tight and moving parts are greased and go from there.

 

Clicking could be brake pads add some copper grease to back of pads

 

Fixed. Re-greased the pads in the front.
