Brakes erm...clanging really?

hiya all,

 

Ive recently noticed theres some noise coming from the brakes on my 94 MKIV TT Supra. Most times, usually when ive not used the brakes for a while whilst im driving, i can hear a clang form the brakes, usually more than one brake at a time.

 

I can only describe the sound as the one when you drive over a loose grate, sort of metal clang.

 

Now ive taken it to the garage who fitted me some discs and pads about 2 months ago with this, he says hes had a look and all oks underneath and can only assume its the pads moving when i brake along with the suspension thats making the noise.

 

My point is its never done this before the discs n pads were changed. Just wondered if i should worry or not? To be honest it does sound like the pads moving etc but i just want to see if anyone else has a theory on it?

 

Thx all!

 

Foz.......

Yeah I have the same problem, changed to OEM discs and CW pads. My garage said they'd quieten down eventually and that there was nothing they could do - all the shims and anti rattle springs were put back in correctly.

 

Mine only does it on ridges in the road, one way to check is to try and move the pads by hand, on mine you can hear them touching the caliper.
