so i just recently got new brakes, pads, rotors, axle, tires...the whole shot...now im hearing this noise on my passenger front brake when applied....it sounds almost like a pumping noise in the calipers or like a ratcheting noise.....if anyone has any ideas or can help, id appreciate it because my mechanics cant seem to figure it out

 

Can you take a vid or a sound clip?

Have you looked at everything that's been worked on, looking for parts rubbing or out of place?

 

I have the same problem but that's because my rear break rotor is out of shape from all the power sliding I have done.

Since your rotors are new, I doubt that's the problem but the way I found out would be taking off my wheel and spinning my rotor, it would get stuck at some point. Try it out?

 

Might be the dust cover and some debris or a bad clip. Maybe a bad/mis allied/ out of place ABS sensor hopefully not for your sake those suckers are expensive.

 

Take it apart and look to see what's causing it. I once found a pebble behind my rotor that make a horrific sound.

 

take it back apart and look.

 

so i get my mechanic to take the whole wheel off and check it out...at first they thought it was the splash guard clicking when the brake was engaged. That didnt fix it and then they looked at the break pads. one of the pads had almost bent and it looked as if it were put on incorrectly. i believe the clip was out of place. they changed the pad and thus the problem had stopped for the night and the beginning of the next day. then last night, the same problem reoccured again, so im not sure if something is forcing the break pads to bend or what? any ideas??

 

In the back calipers, the piston has two recesses to take the two nibs on the pad. The recesses and the nibs has to align and fit together.

 

it was the caliper pin...when i would break it did not go in all the way to make the breaks completely engage...it would go and stop so it cause the noise that I was hearing
