I changed all the brakes&rotors with the parts purchased from the advanced brake system MAX in markham area. Rotors are drilled and pads are ceramic. Paid 216 dollars for all. Then changed all , also rotated tires. After driving 100 km , i started hearing clicking noise from rear right side while tires are turning, and it gets frequent but less noise with acceleration. Noise dissapers when i press on brakes slightly. mechanic who installed the rotors and brakes told me that holes on one rotor is too big and needs to be changed. Later i talked to a guy from MAX who sold me these parts. He indicated me that it should not be the rotors, but maybe from brakes. Later, i took the car to another mechanic, after he drove he said that noise coming from brakes, and he ordered brake pads for the rear without even looking at them, and installed it. He said brakes were not installed properly initially. After 100 km , noise is back. Not sure what to do next ? It is like a money trap

Did you replace all of the hardware when doing your brakes? Rubber caliper bushings, pins and anti rattle springs? I just had a clicking noise develop on my left rear, but I was lazy and reused these parts over 2 brake life cycles. As soon as I swtiched out to new hardware, problem gone.

Bent anti-rattle spring? Loose center cap on the wheel? Debris between the backside of the rotor?
