Hi,
We replaced the rotors and brake pads on the front also the caliper on the drivers side. the car makes a knocking niose ("rut,rut,rut) and scraping when you apply the brakes you can fell the pulsing when you apply the brake petal. We thought it may be bad rotors so we returned and replaced them again. No fix. We also tried to bleed the brake lines. At one point the brakes went right to the floor when I applied them driving. Can you help?

First, when you change calipers, di it in pairs, not one at a time! Were the rears checked? Frozen slides and pistons can give you these symtoms, if the pedal went to the floor bleed the system again, RR, LF, LR, RF. Only DOT 3 brake fluid is to be used!
