Front Brakes

I got a question.. has anyone ever experienced a clicking coming from the front brakes??? Since I had the front wheel off and had the tire changed I have a clicking noise coming from the front wheel when I apply the brake... no vibration or wobble at any time during operation. I know the injectors make a clicking noise but this noise is louder so I am assuming it is coming from the front wheel as it only clicks when I apply the brake... any help would be great... .thanks guys...!!!

Grab one of the rotors and shake it, it SHOULD click. The rotors are floating and have a bit of wiggle to them. See if the sound is similar. I bet you are noticing this beacuse you just took it off and are worried that all went back together properly.

Also, I think mine clicked a bit more after a brake pad replacement. Again, was probably my imagination making me worry more.

Thats exactly right.. The clicking is the movement in the rivets which make up the floating rotor. My S4 did it for a while and it will most likely go away when the rotor is settled a bit more. It not a problem, just anoying if you are listening for it.
