Be sure to replace the anti rattle clips the pads ride. Or at least clean up the old ones.

So here a update my weekend got busy and I decided to just let my local shop take a peak at it. What they found was my front driver brake pad is loose. They said everything else in the front end looked good. All the ball joints and bushings were good. She said it looks like someone had resently done brakes and used cheep pads. I told her I Did the brakes and used Wagner thermo quiet pads. They said we haven't had very good luck with them lately and recomended a different pad. She said sense you can do them your self well button back up and it'll be $50 for looking at it didn't try to sell me on them fixing it. They said they have had good luck with the nappa brand pads so I wills try that.

That sounds like BS but I guess if it fixed it. ole well. hahah

I run the same pads but my clunking noise is when going over bumps. Pretty sure it's the ball joints.

I pulled them today and the hardware (clips) were So loose it was crazy. I replaced the pads so far so good haven't herd it once hopefully it Will stay that way. Shop is local small town very reputable if they pulled shotty work they would go down fast. But they just charged me 50 for the diagnoses no repaor
