Default Brakes Question

Good evening everyone,

Maybe a dumb question but I just installed the power stop brake pads and now when I brake I hear a kind of clunk coming from the front. I also had it pull hard to the left a couple times when coming to a stop. It doesn't do it every time... I assume something isn't seated properly so I am going to take look at them tomorrow. Has anyone had this experience after replacing brake pads? I don't believe these pads are marked "inside"/ "outside", all four look the same if I remember correctly so I don't think they are in the wrong locations. Any insight on the issue would be much appreciated.

Thank You!

Welcome to the Corvette Forum. I am sorry you are having this problem. It could be a guide pin or lack of lube on something or pad not seated properly. I would remove the wheel and clean the parts and lube them again. Make sure the pad is sitting flat. Follow Power Stops procedure for bedding them in.
