Figured I'd see if anyone else has experienced this issue.
So I purchased my CU2 in Oct 2017. Upon purchasing, driving home noticed a audible pop/click when braking or leaving a stop. I deemed it as a bad ball joint, upon further inspection noticed the front caliper slide pins frozen. Up on stands it went, pulled the caliper brackets, cleaned and lubricated the slide pins, reinstalled everything. Good to go...so I thought. Fast forward another 10k miles, same audible pop/click. Having experienced this once before, pulled the brackets again. Guess what? Slide pins frozen. Cleaned, slide pin grease, reinstalled everything. Good to go again...or was I?
Fast forward to yesterday, wife and I went to Branson, MO (about 45 min drive), coming to a stop...does it again. At this point I'm super frustrated. It's been like 8k miles since last cleaning. I opted to go ahead and replace the pads this time. Thoroughly clean with brake clean, q tips, probably over lubricate all the slide pins. Inspected the dust boots, no cracks. Put everything back together with fresh pads/grease. No more noise.
Am I missing something here? Caliper brackets look great, aside from being dirty on the outside. Thoughts?
