Default Am i the only one?

while im driving and coming to a stop my back driver wheel makes a weird noise as im breaking but if i push a lil harder theres no noise, the noise is pretty lound, one of my friends said he had the same problem on his IS 300 anyone know what it is or how to fix it, i took the wheel off and looked everything is fine pads are full rotors are new, wheels are stock

somtimes I hear a clunk sound from the rear when I apply the brakes... It is loudest when I apply the brake after braking in reverse first... I think the pads are a little loose where they fit on the caliper...

maybe the lube on the calipers is not sufficient. the caliper might be sticking and when you press the brake its necessary for a certain amount of pressure to build before it makes contact with the rotor. I know in my 96 ES it would clunk every once in a while when applying the brakes.

thats my two cents... dont quote me but it is an option. im sure pheonix will chime in eventually
