My problem was either the upper control arms not torqued down enough to pop into the knuckle or a swaybar end link with not enough grease or defective. You can find out if the end link is bad by taking it off and driving around without it. Don't be surprised it a new one is defective. That happened to me and I ended up changing struts prematurely when it was a defective end link that I just put in.

Are your pads OE or 3rd party? There is an OE shim between the pad and caliper cylinder, whose function is to prevent clicking noise. Most 3rd party pads don't come with this shim (and some 3rd pad manufacturers claim there is no need for this shim). If the noise goes away when you apply brakes, the cause for it may be the missing shim. Check if this OE shim is missing.

Is it possible to give the part number? I searched the Rock auto website, under centric comes up with just brake pads.

Thanks

Should just be the brakep spring kit that has everything in it

Is this it?

Thanks
