Hello....<BR> Check the brake caliper hardware. There should be a clip on the brake pad to the caliper itself. Also make sure that the calpier bolts are tight. If you need.. I can take a pic of my caliper and send it to you. Good luck.....<P> Jarid Perry<BR> 94 Blaze Red RS<BR> 15.02@96.7

there is a metal wire spring that is shaped like a "W" that is used to press apart the break pads in the caliper. If that metal is rubbing the caliper it will click. I just bent mine away from my caliper a little.<BR><P>------------------<BR>Barry Clark<BR><I><B>Moderator</B></I><BR>1995 Mazda Mx-3 RS<BR>Chaste White<BR><A HREF="http://www.barrykclark.com" TARGET=_blank>barrykclark.com</A> <BR> custommx3@usa.net
