Front Rotor Question

[kyle_dewald]

I replaced the front rotor, caliper, and pads. I noticed that my rotor makes a slight clank of metal on metal as a slow down, but only when the front brakes are applied. I checked the bolt that hold it down and 2-3 of them are tightened down, but the rotor will move in and out ever so slightly. I took them off and made sure everything was seated properly and everything was where it was supposed to be. I would assume that this is not normal. what can I do to fix it, should the rotor fit tight and flush against the wheel or should it be able to move a little.
New to the firebolt, just wanting to make sure everything is okay.

should the rotor fit tight and flush against the wheel or should it be able to move a little.

It's called a floating rotor - it's supposed to have some play.

 

[kyle_dewald]

well, I kinda thought it did because of the spring setup, but it doesn't "float" across all mounting places

It should. Use some brake parts cleaner where it doesn't

seems like the locking pucks can be turned did you install new hardware?
are the indexed the right way?

My rotor did the same thing. It was clicking when i applied the brakes . I just cleaned em and reinstalled it. No problems yet , Been about 500 miles so far.
