Brake Pads Clanking Noise On Uneven Surfaces

Hi everyone,

I recently installed Centric Parts Super Premium Ceramic Pads (105.18670) along with the Raybestos Front Disc Hardware Kit (H18277A). Since then, I’ve noticed an annoying clanking noise every time I hit a pothole or drive over uneven surfaces.

I took a closer look and recorded a video (linked below) showing how the brake pads move up and down within the caliper.

The Raybestos kit included guide pins and a retainer spring, so I’m trying to figure out if I should replace the aftermarket guide pins and retainer spring with OEM parts or if should I replace the pads with OEM ones as well?

Appreciate your insights.

Are the retaining pins pushed fully home? It looks like the retaining pins aren't pushed fully into the caliper. Use a punch and a lump hammer. If not then use the OEM originals.
