I had new rear brake pads put on last month. Ever since I got the car back, I keep on hearing a clinking noise, sounds like a piece of thin sheet-metal loose, hitting something when I ride over bumps on the road. But when I am coming to a stop (with my foot on the brake & hit the same bumps), the noise is not there.

At first, I thought it was the metal-piece that goes over your rear disc brake that is/are hitting the brakes. So I tried to bent it a little outward, but the noise is still there.

Has anyone experience this before? I'm putting my stock graphite 17"s with snow tires back on for the winter tomorrow, maybe I'll take a closer look at it. If I can't figure it out, I will have my mechanic to look at it (again). TIA

the two pins to hold the pads in, they are in good right? and the metal plate that goes on top as a clip, it's secured? do you hear it from both sides or just one side?

you did put in the shims and fit kits back right?

I would have him look at it or check what Rominl said. If its still doing it then its the same sound that I have. Its a normal sound and its always been there. Sometimes its more noticeable than other time. I notice it at slow speeds when I'm pushing the brake. I think its just because our brakes are the float type and its just the caliper locking back in place. I've heard some other people complain about that sound and I think its just an IS brake thing and its suppose to do that. As long as it doesn't feel like its grinding or sound like it is than you should be good.

hope that helps.

My mechanic check it again, it was the brake pads. The noise is gone!! woohoo!!

Great. Glad you got it fixed.
