Brakes make crunching noise

Need help... when slowing down my brakes make a crunchy spring noise off and on... I believe the off and on might be due to warped disks...

When Im sitting at a stand still and press the brakes, there is a springy crunching noise. I took it to the local brake shop and they couldent figure it out. Any suggestions?

p.s. this started after putting new brake pads on, only happens to one side I believe pass rear. Maybe not lubing the slides? or rods w.e. there called?

It sounds like a bind somewhere?????? If everything looks good, I would just remove, and clean all components..... Then use brake grease and lubricate the pad sliding areas....

If you are sure its on the rear, check the H-clip( #17 )....It might be bent/damaged..
