Clicking in Brakes

I recently put new brake pads on my 99 Durango, when I press the brakes, I notice a clicking noise in the right side. Can anyone help diagnose the problem?

Thank you

. Ensure proper application of anti-squeal compound (e.g., Squeak Relief) on shims, if any.

. Ensure antivibration springs are properly engaged.

. If disks were turned on a lathe (it's better to use a ProCut machine), it's possible you now have lateral runout, where disks and pads are not perfectly parallel. In other words they turned the disks to the lathe's axis, not the spindle's axis. Every time the disk rotates now it strikes the pad at a corner. The result can be wheel shake and other phenomena. Basic geometry really comes into play here.

. Clicking noises are often associated with CV joint problems.

Brakes can be difficult to assess from afar. Attention to detail makes a huge difference when doing brakes. Did you apply silicone grease to the caliper pins? Did you change the brake fluid, using an approved ABS fluid, and completely bleed the brake system?

Thank you
if the anti rattlers fell out when you were changing the pads then the pads will move and cause a noise
