Brakes
I just replaced the front rotors and pads. They track straight, no hang ups, no warps, no chatter or squeeks BUT now I get this ocassional clunk in either side in the front when letting off the brake and accelerating. Any ideas? Argon?
Bleed them or pull em apart agian?
Only thing I thought of was the fact I ran out of brake cleaner to clean the rotors so I used intake cleaner and I don't think it got all the oil off making the brakes a little sticky when the pads hit the rotors. I get that slight rubbing noise when coming to a complete stop. I got some light smoke comming off them which is normal but I was thinking the oil that might still be on them might be making the pads sticky and that could be my noise (clunk when letting off the pedal).
I also get the ocassional clunk in the rare end when accelerating. I am assuming its a U-joint again. What else should I check?

RE: Brakes
I pulled out a "treaded pin" (like a pin/bolt lookin thing) from the calipers, they were greased, I regreased them with some HD grease and threw them back in. I don't think thats it. Thanks tho.
