[team ERA 5]

everytime i step on the brakes in the morning at a stop my brakes clunk...and it also happens when i go from reverse then drive and brake its clunks...anyone know what the problem is and a solution...i heard the calipers flex when i go from reverse to drive....its really annoying is this normal?

ITS COMPLETELY NORMAL!

i think almost everyone has this noise and thinks its a problem.

from what i can remember from a different post about it, theres a gap in the something eruther, to allow for expansion from heat of the thingamajigger....either way! its supposed to be there lol.

Yeah, bothered me at first. Then I remember what it was like to drive a 92 Chevy Lumina, and a 94 Dodge Intrepid. Then I feel happy again that I drive an EP3.

it's normal:D i had wondered the samething. i also notice this happening after the brake rotors and pads get wet and then dry before i drive the car, like after i wash my car then i go to drive it it makes that noise. it's almost like the brake pad is stuck to the rotor and after you hit the brakes a little and they unstick :rolleyes: beats the hell out of me :confused:

thank you guys.......its annnoying.....but oh well as long as my tire doesnt fall off im straight with the sound.....just gotta turn up the stereo a lil louder....

Clack, Clack.

I think thats just the pressure building up in the lines. My EK hatch does the same.

Does anybody know if we do a BIG brake upgrade if the noise goes away?

I know it's really early but has anybody done a standard brake job on their car yet? If so, does the noise go away?

thats a normal sound. caliper pins.

Yeah my car does it too! I've got 17K on my car now, and I would say it just started about 3K back. I'm not sweatin it though, because my car shifts beautifully right now, and hasn't crunched, or grinded in some 5-6K miles, I think shes broken in.
