Can anyone on ClubLexus identify this problem?
Hi folks, been noticing a consistent issue with my 2001 GS430.
I put the car in reverse, start rolling back, and apply the brakes. Then I put the car in drive and start rolling forward. The first time I hit the brakes while driving forward after this process, I will get a loud "clink"
This won't happen again until I put the car in reverse again, stop, and then roll forward and apply the brakes the first time.
It must be related to brake clips or something? Or perhaps the brake rotor is rotating a couple degrees on the hub as it is coming into contact with the wheel studs?
Any ideas?

I had this same issue. My problem turned out to be exactly what you commented on, brake clips. The pads were moving slightly and causing a tinny-sounding clunk when changing from reverse to forward or forward to reverse. Brake fitment kit resolved the issue.

Front. This was the kit I installed

There is a rear one on their site as well

Hi guys, I managed to get a wheel removed and notice that the brake rotor holes are sliding back and forth and hitting the studs.
Is this normal?

Hi folks, just wanted to follow up on this problem.
I ordered front and rear pads from Sewell along with matching hardware kit and the problem is history.
Interestingly (and shockingly at the same time), the mechanic told me that my rear brakes had no HW kit installed and were the likely culprit for the clicking I was hearing as the pad shifted front to back.
