    Default Brake issues, please help me!!! Before i kill someone

    Ok so I just changed my brakes, then i changed two calipers because i noticed some damage on them when changing brakes.. that would b my driver side. Before I changed them I noticed a REALLY anoying rattle, if i hit a crack on the road it rattles so annoying and to people walking down the street I can only imagine what they think. If i press on the brakes even a little and hit bumps the noise is gone so i figure.. pads, caliper, or rotor.. but ive been tightening and losening everything I just cant figure it out!! please give me an idea of whats going on i can take a video with sound

    Have you taken the wheel off and inspected to see what's going on? A noise means nothing if we don't know where it's coming from. It could be lots of things in there.

    As i said when i hit the brakes the noise is gone, its unbelievable. Yes ive taken off the wheel a hundread times.. the only way I can recreate the sound accurately is when the tires is on, if i bang it it rattles if the tire is off everthing looks good the only thing i could say it might be is the pads but im not sure...

    starting to sound like a stud or lug nut problem, or even the rim itself, but why braking would quiet that is beyond me. just to be clear, the same noise occurs just as loud with new pads, rotors and calipers on both sides? i understand the sound is coming from the front of the vehicle, but have you inspected your rear breaks, just for the sake of eliminating that variable?

    are the pads loose in the fitting? it could be the pads rattling in the holder. IF the pads slid in real easy...then i bet that is what it is.

    That's happening to me on my passenger side but it goes away when I turn right it's really weird. But I know mine is the rotors and I know I need new ones so just saying because my issue is the same it stops when your breaking. I'm not saying that's your problem but it sounds like my problem.

    if its an aftermarket rim then more than likely the rim does not fit properly...if its a factory rim then did you use brake quiet?
