Default Just replaced my calipers...

Just replaced my calipers and bled the brakes. Reason for replacing them is because the driver side caliper was starting to stick.

Now for the issue.

When im driving at slow(er) speeds like 10-20 mph i can hear and sometime feel clunk and sometimes it will vibrate on the driver side, but when i put the brakes on it goes away. That leads me to think it's the brakes, but EVERYTHING is new. Calipers, rotors, pads. EVERYTHING. I've checked the caliper bolts but they are tight. Could the pads be loose? How could i tell?

Also, sometime when i put the brakes on there is a ''clunk''. Stops fine, but im just wondering to this doesnt turn into a bigger issue.

Brakes definitely aren't something to let go by the wayside. It wouldn't matter if the pads were "Loose", because the piston is gonna apply pressure on them. Almost sounds like a slide pin issue. I'd just go back and re-loosen everything, then re-tighten it all to start with.

Keep us updated.

thats weird, because i changed all of mine too, rotors calipers pads, and last weekend when i pulled redmuck out and hit the brakes,there was a big clunk. pulled out and clunk,pulled back in and clunk, but then it stopped before i left my street and drove about 100 miles round trip with no problems. then the next day when i was pulling back in behind the gate in the driveway for the week, it clunked again everytime i hit the brakes. just sooooo strange.

Mine does basically the same thing. Just got back from driving into downtown Chicago and was fine until I'm doing under 25mph
