Default weird brake issue

hey guys wussup, just wanted some advice and if anybody has experienced this...

the other night I'm driving and i hear this clicking noise as the car is rolling, like what it sounds like if something is it your tire, i can tell its coming from the front right so i get out and check it and its nothing there, next thing i thought was its something on the rotor.....so i take the car the next morning to lexus shop that i go to(not the dealer) he hears the noise takes of the front wheel and sees the issue. theres like a bent pin in the middle of the calipers that he said got moved or bent or something and the rotor was rubbing on that, so he gets a pliers and kinda bends/pulls it back to where its supposed to be. he says the hardware on the brake system eventually deteriorates and when i do my next brake job i should replace those things too(just did my brakes though). so i drove off and everything was fine. today I'm pulling out and when i tap on my brakes i hear a squeak I've never heard before, it seems like the clicking noise came back slightly and when i went on the highway the brakes just feel different and now theres a shudder in my steering wheel, i do have a warranty on the car and was wondering if it wouldn't be covered since its associated with the brakes and also has anybody else experienced this?

Who did your brakes last? I would go back to them and tell them of the issue. Sounds like all you need is a new hardware kit for the pads installed.

Shouldn't be expensive. The difference in price of pads with the kit and without the kit is minimal. Call your local Lexus dealer or look on sewells website.
