crackling sound when i ride the brakes?!?
#20
I have the exact same sound, went to the dealer and they replace the oem rotors and pads and shims everything. I got the extended warranty and even though it has about less than 20k miles on it and there are plenty of pads and rotors. Sounds gone for now and that's 2 months ago

i finally had the chance to put in the new brake and shims!! and thank the lord, it worked!! the sound stopped , braking feels smoother too! i cleaned out wverything with brake cleaners. i did thoroughly clean out the inside of the caliper too, that might have helped. never again will i buy posi-quiet brake pads!! sadly theres still allota meat left on it too. what a waste... at least i fixed the sound !!

^Great to hear! I just got cleaned up from checking out my driver's front brakes. Not sure how long normal OEM brakes are supposed to last but the inner pad is almost gone!!! The outer pad looks to have normal wear for 34k. So yeah, I assume the noises I've been is done to the "idiot pin" scratching against the rotor. LOL!
Time for new pads and rotors for me!
