Possible Brake and Suspension Problems

[Haus]

ok ever since i got my brakes done last Sept. when ever i stepped on the brakes i heard this weird bang sound(kinda like hitting a tin foil pan with your hand) is the best way to describe it. and i could reinact that sound by going over bumps in the roads or moving my tire or kicking my tire. well i took off my tire to look at my Sway bar bushing set up that a shop installed for me cause the sway bar bushing set up snapped in half on the drivers side. so they replaced both sides. i hit the brake line with my hand and it made that sound i was wondering about. well if i tug and pull on the brake line, the brake set up moves and makes this banging sound. i checked the other side too. does it there too.

is this normal for the brake assemble not to be tight and to move around

i got some pics for you all to see. CLICK THE THUMBNAIL



2nd pic is the sway bar bushing set up. the question is. is that on there right. looks like the bushing are all messed up and might bend again cause of how it looks

in the pic where its circled. the caliper pin is hitting the hole where its it. its freaking annoying me when i drive and hear that sound. what can i do to make it stop

First, your calipers are supposed to have some movement. Having only one piston (on one side of rotor), they have to slide to apply equal force to each pad...and both sides of the rotor. These are commonly referred to as floating calipers. As opposed to calipers with pistons on each side of the rotor. These called are fixed calipers.

However, they shouldn't have that much movement or noise. Try this, drive you car on a road where it typically make this noise. Using your left foot, apply slight pressure to the brake pedal. Enough to slightly slow the car down. Then use your right foot to maintain a constant speed. If the noise is gone, it's definitely your caliper bushings.

Aren't there rubber bushings that the calipers slide on? Maybe those are pooched.
