    Hi, Thought I'd take another shot at this one on the list, since I 
won't be able to have a look at it on the car for another week or so.  If 
you have replaced the front disk brake pads, did you notice anything that 
might cause a pad to slide back and forth?
    Thanks again,
    JC

Original post:

     For some time, I've been hearing an unusual clicking sound when
braking. The handyman who helps me with wrenching noticed that the right
inside disk brake pad was loose (wish my own noticer was more
sensitive). The pad slides forward and back about 1/8 to 1/4 " when simply
turning the disk. The two triangular plates that hold the pads in place
are snug, and no potential problems are obvious in my manuals.
     If anyone has seen this before and/or can offer a suggestion about 
what might be going on, before I begin dismantling the brakes, I would
appreciate it.
Thanks,
John Cowan
