2003 Pilot Clunking Calipers
Has anyone had any experience with the brake calipers clunking on the first
brake application after changing direction? The dealer says this is normal for this car. I told them it's bull for a $35K car to make that kind of noise. Thanks, John C. |

That happens on my 98 civic. Could be faulty
installation of brake pads, but probably normal. t |
