Like the title says whenever I hit my brakes going more than 20-30 mph the second I tap the brakes I hear a metal popping sound from what seems like the front right of the car, I recently had that caliper replaced as well as inner tie rods and it seemed to start soon after that, but it makes the sound whether I lightly tap the brake or brake hard.
I'd assume its the clips and springs that have tension on the brake pad. Im replacing those on my car while i replace the upper control arm (for the third time).
Caliper bracket might not be torqued down enough. It should be 87 ft lbs. I had the same clunk, torqued them down correctly and the issue went away for good.
