Default Brake popping/clicking

hello all, recently my brakes have been popping/clicking and it’s been getting annoying. I read on the GS boards that there are fit kits for this as it is a known problem. However, I can’t find the part number. Would anyone happen to have it? Or would anyone know if I can just replace the shims with any brand to correct this noise? Thanks for your help. My car is an IS350 2006 and I replaced the brakes about 2 years ago with no problems until now.

Yes, you'll want to look into a new brake hardware kit. Shims, not so much; but those hardware items that are sprung to keep the pads located where they need to be, need to be replaced over time. Otherwise looseness, odd feedback in the pedal, and noises start to occur.

Gville thanks for your reply. Will any hardware kit work? Or is this something I need specifically from the dealer? Can I get something on eBay or rockauto? It is for the front brakes, I forgot to mention that.

I've only used OEM, and am not even sure if there are aftermarket brake hardware kits. But I'd assume it'll all work the same. OEM is just best because it is what was used from the factory.

I just placed an order from RockAuto the BECK/ARNLEY 0841970 (084-1970). As I'm experiencing popping noises recently. I'll report back one installed if it made a difference. Last brake pad set installed the Raybestos hardware didn't fit that came with the pads. I'm still using the OEM hardware at 78k they are severely beat up. Hopefully it solves my annoying popping/clicking noises.

Received, and installed the new hardware. It's exactly the same as OEM. The popping was due to my upper control arm being a little loose.

My problem is now solved for the time being.

the popping/clicking sound you had, was it as you take off and breaking? I have a 2012 is250awd and upgraded to 350awd rotors and calipers. Calipers are a1cardone from rockauto. Only my driver side makes a click/metal to metal sound as I hit the brake but I don't hear it at high speeds or after long driving time.

Did this work 100%? No more noise? I'll purchase these pins if so

What ultimately fixed my issue was the upper control arm was loose. At first I thought it could be the brakes popping. It was more pronounced when backing out of my driveway. Then when turn left or right at stop signs. Since I was applying the brakes. My first instinct was the brake issues. What's wierd it would do it also pop a little while stationary.

You can get a long 14mm wrench to check. I have an AWD so it's pretty high wheel gap to do this for me. I checked the body bolts and they where loose. I tightened them up, and I haven't had a problem since.
