i just replaced my old worn out stock rotors with a set of brembo blanks and Hawk pads.

drove around yesterday afternoon to bed them and get them set. at the time, everything was fine. no squaking, no rattles, nothing. just pure stopping on dime. which is exactly what i was looking for.

so last night i get in and take off down a road near our house that has that "ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump" sound as you drive down it. and my rear end sounds like it's going to fall out from under it. LOUD banging and clanging.
the first thing i thought of was that i forgot to tighten the lugs on one of the wheels. nope. all tight.
so i drive back home and check it out.
as i pull up, i can clearly hear grinding from the rear.

i'm at a loss. i installed a new anti-rattle kit when i put them on. the fronts are fine, it's just the rear.
any clue? pistons on the rear calipers go south maybe? i'm open for anything, cause i have no idea.

 

Remove the wheels and go over your installation. Make sure everything is tight. Caliper bolts, thrust member bolts ect.

 

problem fixed. found out it was coming from the drivers side only. removed everything, found one of the smaller pieces of the anti rattle kit was missing. guess it fell out while i was putting it all back together and i just didn't notice it.


man, do these things work. well worth the $350.

 

nvm

 

glad u got it fixed, i also had problems with the same setup. Make sure u re grease the sliding pins. I had to learn it the hard way when I seen smoke coming from my wheels.
