So I believe I installed the wrong rotors on my 2000 XLT 4x4. The wheels have been going clickity-clack ever since I replaced the rotors and pads at all 4 wheels. Sometimes its much more clack then click. I've taken the wheels off and sprayed material on the back of the pads. I've tightened every bolt I can get a wrench on and yet the noise wont go away.*edit* The noise doesn't go away with the brakes compressed which also makes me believe it's not the pads.
I believe where my error lies is that I bought the rotors with the wrong size stud holes. I think the holes are too big and the rotors are clanging around loose on the wheel studs.
First, is this likely? Second is there anything I can do short of buying the 4 correct rotors? I wondered if I could place a washer or two between the rotor mounting surface and the back of the wheel so the wheel would grip the rotor in place?
Anyway your help is appreciated, thanks.
