[Healeys] Front brake pad knock (no squeal)

[Tracy Drummond]

Has anyone experienced a knock from front brake pad slop?  Happens to mine
after the brake pad lube has dried or been wicked by brake dust.

I use a small dollop of disk brake lube at the read contact points between
caliber and back/edges of pads.



It will probably go away if I were to get motivated enough to pull the
wheels and pads and clean the areas up again.  I do this once a year but not
yet this season.  There is plenty of pad left but I expect better fit from
the next set of pads.  I do not remember where this set came from only that
they were new when installed a few years back along with anti squeal shims.
I have never had squeal just the know upon initial application of brake
pedal.
