Brake noise after replacing pads


clf2427

Question

I replaces all four of my pads with ceramic quality pads...no noise for first week but now I'm hearing a grinding noise and it appears one of the clips is hitting top of the rotor...I checked it and everything looks like it's mounted right..the noise is driving me nuts...

If its a newish GM truck there are three or four different clip systems, but at least two of them use clips that are held in place between the pads by a bit that pushes up into the cast iron pad holder. They have to be pushed up into place so don't contact the rotor. Its easy enough if one is rubbing on the rotor to see where its rubbing, and then push it into place so it doesn't. If you've messed up the new clips there's nothing wrong with re-using an old clip; its a good idea to use a little silicon lube on the ears of the pad backing plates (the metal-to-metal contact points), either way.
