This is a discussion on horrible noise within the General Grand Prix Discussion forums, part of the General Forum category; I'm pretty sure that thats not it. It sounds like popping. I will try to get a video up tomorrow....

    I'd take them apart and put them back together. Make sure everythings on right. Maybe the clip that holds the pads in is broken

    Did you grease up the slides and where the pads sit when you did the brakes?

    so this noise is after you did the brakes, or just started to happen?


    i'd take it apart and recheck everything, could be a cracked pad or something. either way.

    yeah open them up, see whats going on in there, thats not healthy sounding at all.

    if your getting a pull to one side or another when you hit the brakes and let the wheel go, but it goes straight when you are not on the brakes, you would defiantly have a problem.

    I've replaced both hubs and I'm thinking it might be the rotors. Any ideas?

    It's possible. What all have you changed thus far? I'm to lazy to go back and read it all.

    any vibrations while driving?

    Slightly after you get up to about 70. But I think that's just the tires.
