I put on my cobra front brakes last weekend and everything works awesome, but only thing I do notice is that they clatter...the passengers front clatters when i drive and the drivers front you can hear when you go over bumps that its loose...would this have to do with the pin i put the clip point outwards towards the rim on each side? or would i need to point them going inwards towards the spindle? Everything else is tightened up just thats the only thing i can think of?
any help would be great!
Thanks!

 

Where did you get the pads?

 

did you check your slide pins to make sure they were working properly? i had this problem on my old GT, the slide pins were frozen, and didn;t notice until i put the pads on heard the clattering also. how long has it been doing this? if its been long enough and it is the slide pins, the rotors should have some surface rust on them, showing the caliper can't compress due to frozen pins.

 

I got the brake pads online, they were new brembo sport brake pads...

I just put the brakes on 2 weeks ago...so since I put them on Its been doing it, as far as the slide pins being frozen...not sure, both sides of the rotor are showing they are being worn by the pads, but I can probably pull the pins, but should i spray them with oil or what?

 

take the caliper bracket off and see if you can push and pull the slide pins. I had to torch the crap out of it with some PB blaster to get them out. then i just used some heavy duty grease and put new pins in (only a few bucks).

 

so take off the caliper and try sliding the pins back and forth in the bracket itself? where would i get new pins? are they supposed to move freely back and forth?

 

yeah, they should move freely. you can get them at ford or most auto parts store.

 

cool sounds good, i actually found another post about someone else having the same issue, i'm gonna go to auto zone and buy new pins and put them in... I should be able to put them on without taking off my wheel If i turn the wheel all the way over..
