Brake pads 'clonking'

[barney501]

Fitted new pads to my seat sport ap racing callipers on friday along with new retaining pins and new anti roll bar drop links. Bedded the pads in correctly but now when driving along, braking or taking a right bend the pads are clonking like mad, almost as if there moving about. They dont clonk about though when taking a left bend. Trackings out a bit and pulling to the left but can anybody help shed some light as to why there clonking please??

I would just go back to square one and check you have done everything back up correctly.

Are you sure its the pads? Id be looking at anti roll bar drop links maybe? Due to the fact it does it when your not even braking and under general driving

Clonk sounds more arb related , check the drop links are tight and have no play , if okay check the bar itself for play/worn bushes . Obviously also check everything you've undone is tight .

Cheers for the suggestions folks. Took them apart earlier on and found i had put the spring clips on upside down. I had the arrows facing up instead of down. Found this picture on google. I had it so the spring was holding the pads up, this shows they should hold the pads down.

Glad its all sorted now and quiet as a mouse.
