clicking noise from rear brakes??

[selser420]

I just bought a carr and it had warped rotors. I replaced all the rotors, but the pads were ok so I didn't replace them. I now have a clicking noise coming from the left rear when I'm on the brakes. What could this be??

Try sandpapering the pads surface to remove any ridges the old rotor left and get it flat. Put piece of 150 grit sandpaper on flat table and rub pad back and forth on it so it sands flat. Also make sure the caliber support (part that holds the pads) can slide freely back and forth on the pins that go thru the caliper body so equal pressure will be applied to both pads and they can adjust position for wear. They tend to seize up/rust with age.

I had a prob like that a few weeks ago on the rear passenger side, it started clicking and went after about a week to sounding like threads grinding together (like the rim rubbing against the lug stems). Im thinkin it might be your hub, they go out a lot on these. Hope this help.

I just did new pads and rotors on my car and when I turn the rear rotors back they click and then when I turn them forward the lock up.

Anyone ever find a reason for them clicking?

I really don't want to tear my brakes apart..... again.

2g's have parking brake shoes inside the rear rotors that can produce problems if not properly adjusted. Remove rotor, check and adjust them. I've seen parts that hold the shoes broken which caused lockups, noise, etc.
