Default Re: front brake noise

Hmm, if that's what they did then I wonder. With the pins going right through the pads and caliper, there shouldn't be any way that they can move back and forth causing the noise. However, I bet that's exactly what's happening. If that's the case then either the pins are too small in diameter or the slots for the pins (in either the pads or the caliper) are too big. If you haven't checked them out yourself, I would do so (the front brakes are designed way different than most front brakes...but it's a blessing with how easy it is to change the pads in that you no longer have to remove the caliper!). Get in there and see if it feels like the pins are loose. If they are, then have the tech compare them to another truck on the lot and see if those are as loose as yours.

Either way, there are a few people in the past that had the same problem that couldn't be fixed. But it isn't normal because it doesn't happen to most of us.
