Brake Pads Rattle on G30 Replacement Brakes
Was having trouble with my front disc brakes on our 1992 Jayco Class C, built on the Chev G30 chassis.
The shop does a complete replacement of both front disc bakes and the brake pad was clicking. A slight pressure on the brakes stopped the clicking.They couldn't correct it so they replaced the caliper again... clicking continued. So, they tried another replacement caliper. Clicking continued.
So, the shop is giving up and refunding all my money... Wait a minute! I'm not about to drive this RV with that noise going on so we had a conversation. The only part that was replaced just once, when I came in with the original brake problem, was the rotor on the problem wheel. Since it seemed to me that the probability of three replacement calipers failing in the exactly the same way is roughly the same as being hit on the head by a bag of gold american eagle coins. And so, no matter how improbable it seems, the last thing to try is a different rotor. Since the rotor seems to be running true, it is like some kind of a magnetism issue. What? A localized magnetic spot of the rotor. Not likely, but is it impossible? Anyone have a similar issue with getting rid of the rattling brake pad issue?
It's driving me nuts and, I'm afraid it has ruined any semblance of confidence and tranquility in the garage. BTW, different brands of remanufactured calipers were tried. We welcome your input.
