I just got new "hawks" front brake pads and also cut my front rotors. The first week everything was fine, almost no brake dust on the wheels, but after that, i started to hear this stupid noise coming from the tires ( i think).
It sounds like a "clicking sound" (it's not the rear axle) and it seems like something it's caught on the front tires, and the faster i go, the faster the clicking is, but when moving at low speed and I hit the brakes slightly, the noise dissapears. Any ideas?

 

haha i had that in my 240, never really found out what they noise was tho.

 

rock on tires maybe? happens to me alot...

 

Pads rubbing?

 

i checked that...no rocks.

 

hmmm...good idea.

 

try bleeding the brakes a little more. Maybe a little air in the line preventing the caliber from opening fully. Keep us updated.

 

Are all the brake pad retaining clips seated all the way and not hitting something as you accelerate?

 

something is loose on your pads. this happened to my truck a while back. i brought it back to the place where i got it changed and they got it fixed.

did you install the pads yourself? check if you got everything tightened up somethin...

 

is this a "do it yourself thing?"

 

i got it done at GRD in Naperville, IL. I'm just gonna take my Z in, to see if they can figure it out, cause I just got new wheels/tires and the noise still there, vey annoying.

 

Maybe your dust shields are rubbing against the rotors. They're easily bent when installing rotors. It would be more of a grinding sound rather than a clicking sound though..

 

Apparently, i'm missing a "thing" that holds the clip in. I have it on one side, but the other side it's missing as you can see on the pic, a small metal clip sticking to the side, and I'm assuming this is the cause of the noise i hear.
