    Default Brakes clicking/clonking

    I have a clicking/clonking noise when i brake while in reverse then when i go forward any ideas?

    The pads will be moving about in the caliper ever so slightly. Unfortunately this is one of the risks of using anything other than OEM brake pads, all it takes is an ever so slight size difference and clonking and clicking will drive you mad.
