When ever I hit the brakes, sometimes there is a click/clunk noise that comes from the calipers. I know its the callipers because I took them off an put them back on a while back and it stopped.Then it started back up. I think what is happening is when I apply the brakes the calliper squeezes the rotor and then rolls ever so slightly forward causing a clunk noise. My question is if you take the wheel off should you be able to grab hold of the calliper and move it forwads and or backwards about a 1/4 inch or so. Do you guys have any idea of whats wrong or has this ever occured with you guys trucks? It been going on for a while now and doesn't seem to be hurting anything but its getting on my nerves. Thanks

 

I really dont think you are soposed to be able to move the callipers at all. I would really have to look at your truck to accually figure out what was wrong. But i dont think the callipers should move like that. Im a mechanic, and all the breaks i have ever done the callipers never moved like that. Good luck bro. I hope you get it figured out.

 

yeah I think I'm going to pull the callipers off this weekend and look at them.

 

good luck bro. I hope there isnt anything really big wrong.

 

me too! thanks

 

mine are clunking now when i make a full stop and let off the brakes. i feel a clunk and hear it a little bit as well.. just started during the rainy season. doesnt do it though if I dont make a full stop. im takin it in dammit.. not even 5k on my truck and its clunking? what a piece of...

 

Hey jessdog, its not a piece of .... , its just something that needs to be taken in and have them fix it for ya. You know you love that truck...LOL.

 

LOL, i know, i know, i love my truck.. I put that out of frustration. Look at u, had a problem and now ur already back in effect better than ever!! The stearlership is being pretty cool so far as well, called them today, takin it in tomm. cant be mad at that ya know? I'll let cha know the outcome! holla

 

Maybe take a look at the slide pins and the bushing/hole they're supposed to slide in...if either is worn, that will cause a clunk. If the pads are loose in the saddles that'll give you noises also.
