pop from the left front under brakeing...

[twoslo4five0]

i just put pads and calipers on the burb....now i have a pop when i get on the brakes coming from the left front..i had to do a lil grinding for the 15s but thats it...any ideas...brakes seem to work fine...anything to be worried about...it isnt that loud...

ok i just drove it around again and checked everything...everything is tight and the pedal is very firm...still goes down preety far but then its like a rock..the truck also pulls and i dont know if thats from my boggers or from the brakes??

hmm. could a caliper be catching? alignment maybe? air in the brakes?

 

[twoslo4five0]

what do you mean catching???allgnment mabye but i dont know why that would effect the brakes...and the brakes are blead welll..i had to bleed them when i put the new calipers on...

 

[muddybuddy]

maybe there is something on the pads or rotor that are causing one side to be less/more effecive than the other. how bad is it? i know many people complain about the truck going to the right when hitting the brakes hard.

 

[twoslo4five0]

yeah it goes right not to bad its managable...the main thing is the popping noise im worried about..

i would grind some more. maybe the caliper is so close that when you put all the weight on the front when your braking thats its catching.

i know when i first did my 8 lug swap with 15's, it spinned freely but then after i drove it, i noticed scaping on the rim so i had to grind some more.
