knocking brake pads?

[Torch S70R]

is there anything else i can do to cure the knocking coming from the brake pads on my S70 ?
ive taken the carriers off and given them a good dollop of copper grease in an effort to dampen the noise but what other measures could be taken?
the clips are nice and strong but still allow some movement on the outer pad

You might need new clips as they are sometimes not as strong as you think.

[freaky fingers]

Most of the clips arn't that much at all cheap really.

Give rufe a call and try a new set, as remedies go it's a good place to start

Are you on about front or rear pads mate? If front I have to ask is the caliper spring in place (the large one on the outside of the caliper)


If you are on about the rear then it could be the retaining brackets, which we do a repair kit for. (kits include 4 pins and 2 brackets, the cross shaped ones + )

If the brackets on the rear pads are fine on the rear, but it is the rear pads your on about, then they also do shims to sit outside the pads which could help. (they dont do them for the fronts)

it is the fronts m8, i suspect im going to have to get a new set of clips
just trying anything really to get rid of the knocking :(

[nobananas]

If clips etc are all okay you could have worn carriers allowing the pads to move up and down causing the clicking.

[Torch S70R]

any fix for worn carriers?
suppose i could knock up a couple of shims to take up the slack?

[CONDYBOY]

check all springs and bolts/carriers got to be one of those.
