    Brake pads hitting the calipers, when you replace the pads it will stop for a little while and then it'll come back again after some wear.
    Nothing you can do.

    Yes it's the brake pads shifting in the calipers and it's normal.

    Thanks. Thought it was normal, just wanted to make sure something wasn't bound up or catching.

    I have the same issue, I just chalked it up to fun noises my truck makes, just figured it was the brakes engaging/disengaging.

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    I think there was a thread where some people added extra springs to hold pads out better. Was that for this brake clap or something else?

    Yeah, same here, I pulled mine apart and cleaned them and lubed them but it just came back, nothing to worry about just another noise to ignore.

    It's the play in the pins that the pads ride on, if you knock the pins out and go heavy on the silicone brake grease on the pin it stops it until your next pad job. When the pins are dry as a bone they start making that shifting noise.
