Default BRAKE NOISE AFTER INSTALLING

so i decided to change the brakes last week, i have been using oem pads for every replacements. A week ago i decided to go with hawk ceramic pads, after 3 days of driving ticking sound on front passenger side occurs only at low speed around 15-5 miles per hour. This only happens when pressing the brakes very very light.

i have double check with all the installation but nothing all are intack. BTW my dad was a honda mechanic and i have been doing all my maintenance since i got my car and i have doing mechanic work for at least 12 years


HELP........

the clicking sounds like metal hitting metal, like a metal ball rolling when braking. sorry dont know how to explain it but thats practically it.


thanks
sean

maybe you dust shield was bent in a way that its contacting the rotor? I had that happen in another car and it sounded like that.

Sounds like you're just dragging a pad. I'm guessing you didn't turn the rotors. Might try that if there's still meat left on them

Make sure you have grease (Molykote M77) between the shims and pads. If they don't slide they hang up as you describe.
