Re: Popping noise when i brake sometimes???

Its your Brake pad moving back and forth inside the Caliper. as you move on reverse... the pad will slide in one direction ... then you drive forward and when you apply enough pressure it will slide in the other direction till the calliper stops it... and you hear that little pop.

I fix mine with some of that grease (for lack of better words) that they sell to eliminate brake noise at the auto parts... when it dries it glues the pad to the other metal parts... or at least keeps it from moving

When the pads were manufactured.. they were made about a millimiter too small... so they have a little play.


If that is not your problem then I have no idea what is...

A loose caliper or caliper pounting bracket comes to mind also. Check for proper bolt torque
