    Hey guys
    I’ve been getting a brake click when my brakes are almost fully depressed. I can feel the click in the pedal and it’s quite loud. It doesn’t happen every time but it only started happening after I changed my pads and rotors a few months ago. I checked my pads and rotors and they seem completely fine. It’s definitely gotten worse in the past weeks (happening more often and louder). I’ve searched lots but can’t find anyone with the same issue
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    That crossed my mind, but it only started happening after I changed the pads and rotors. This is the second brake job I’ve had to do and it didn’t happen last time I changed them

    Are you sure you got everything installed correctly?

    Mine has had pad slap since it had about 30k miles, I only hear it with the windows down though and I've never felt it in the pedal.

    Gonna take a look at the pads for sure, I didn’t think it would make such a prominent click

    Were they the same pads as you used before? I know brake pads aren't created equal, there's good ones, ok ones, and some not so good ones.

    I had ceramic Wagner pads before, which weren’t great, but I put in better Bosch ones this time. Usually they’re good for me, could just be a bad batch though

    Did you change the front caliper slides too? I would do that for every brake job.
