I just noticed a speed-dependent clacking sound coming from the front wheel when the brake is applied. The sound slows and stops as I roll to a stop. It sounds like something hitting as it goes through the caliper but the rotor looks good and I don't see anything out of the ordinary. It doesn't pulse or seem to affect braking and I don't hear anything or detect anything amiss when I roll forward on the garage floor with the brake lightly applied. What am I likely looking at? Is this a dangerous condition? Your help would be greatly appreciated! |

Did you check rotor at the mounting points for free-play? It is possible that the rotor is sticking at one of the mounts and the interface between the rotor and mounting hardware needs to be cleaned up, and exercised by hand a bit. |
