tocking when i stop, What the heck? Options

[D-Man]

okay, so i just changed my rotors...

I did the pads as well, everything was done correctly. I live by the law of doing it once, and doing it right. However, with the new rotors, on the front driver side, there is a tocking noise when i stop (tick-TOCK) tock noise. I can feel it in my break pedal as well, and i had another member (an ace of trades) over this night to help me trouble shoot the problem...

At first i thought it to be a loose clip (between the caliper and the pad) but i have readjusted it 3 times, and with my buddy over we did it again. This time we bent the flex of the clip to ensure proper connectivity. However it still tocked...

It is a noise that you can not only hear, but feel as well in the pedal. It's driving me nuts. This was not an issue on the old rotors. Plus, i know for a fact that the rotors are not warped, it only does this on breaking.

could i get any ideas? help? something? WTF? theese are nice rotors and i dont wanna revert back due to this...

i imagine the slight amount of play in the rotors is due to them not being machined perfectly, or being tightened 100% never really messed with that on my car.

as long as they are held on tight enough witht he wheels on to settle in i would imagine you are ok.

once everything is tightened up you should be good to go.

if the corner of the pad is worn a bit goofy you may still hear some noise at first till it wears even.

Right-on.

I'm going to duck-tape the rotor in place from one side; around my strut, and back to the rotor to hold it tight while i mount my tire. That way, i can rather fix or eliminate this idea. It sounds perfectly possible to me.

If not then saturday morning at death's house measuring break pads, rotors, calipers and such. lol.
