Default Re: front brake noise

the clanking noise you describe is probably the front brake pads shifting in the caliper which is normal. The not normal part, which causes the noise, is the fact that whatever disc brake grease they used at the factory between the shim packs on the outside of the pads has worn off. Take the pads out, clean the shim packs and re-grease them with a good brake grease and re-assemble. The noise will go away.

Good luck
