Well I have been doing a lot of searching for this, but havn't been able to find any results. :dunno: If it has been covered before I apologize.

Anyways my problem is whenever I step on the brake pedal I get this loud CLINK sound.

It is much louder at lower speeds, and makes the sound everytime I slightly step on the brake, just enough for the calipers to bite.

My brakes still stop good, although I think my rotors are warped because when Im braking to a stop I can feel uneven braking.

The car is a RHS13. Any info you guys have on how I can solve this or what is causing it would be appreciated! Thanks :hsdance:

Yeah I forgot to mention during steering I dont really get any clanking noise. Im wondering if it may have something to due with my TC Rod. My caster is off and according to an allignment shop my TC rods are off a degree. Could it be the bushings?

Yes i've been getting the same clink occaisonally on my right caliper... I'm running Z32 30mm fronts w/ stock s13 rears w/17/16ths nabco MC... It's only when I give it an adequate amount of force... Also sorry dont mean to hijack the thread... But lately my left side has been locking up first 99 percent of the time, I'm thinking it's related and the right side isn't working as well as it should. It's rather annoying... Think its time for a rebuild? I've tried rebleeding as well more than once even after i swapped MC's... Oh well hopefully someone writes back for both of us!

I know its not tire related either (one getting more grip), because tires are wearing even and I just installed new castor rods and got myself an alignment and was hoping it'd go away and still nothing yet. I'm thinking the passenger side is just going to have to be rebuilt. A place I had my alignment done at said they could see if there was a pressure differential between the two running some test but that was extra $$$. Oh well I think I'll just rebuild and I'll let you know whats up.
