Noises problem
2000 Pontiac Grand Am Front Wheel Drive 114000 miles

I just replaced my front brakes but now there is a clunking sound coming from the front of my car. This doesn't happen when I'm braking, but when I'm driving down the road... it sort of sounds like the clunk is in line with the rotation of the tires as I drive. What could be causing that noise?

try replaceing the calpor hardware and greasing all moveing parts and make sure that the braking plate is not touching the rotor or wheel.
