brake questions? (w/ video)
So i recently installed new suspensions on my car and the only reason i mention that is because this problem didn't start until after that was finished.
I lifted the car and and pulled the wheel. I removed the two 12mm bolts that hold the caliper and lifted it up to set it on the top of the rotor and removed the pads to make sure they were still good and they were. I put it all back together and and tightened everything up in case something mite have been loose but im still having the problem.
Plz excuse me if this is a small probem but i'm still learning.
I attached a video of the sound and explained in the video what i did. Thanx for any help.

Sounds like the backing plate might have got bent a little while you did your suspension. The thin black round metal behind the rotor....pull it away from the rotor.

ok I'll try that 2 maro. I also was wondering i accidentally pulled the brake line and caused air to get into my brake line but it was only in the driver side do I still have to bleed the whole system? and once i remove those 2 12mm bolts that allows you to move the caliper up and the two bolts that hold it onto the rotor are i believe 17mm with those 2 17mm on there should i be able to move the rotor back and forth?
Sorry if these questions seem noobish but this is new territory for me.

yea I thought so. I removed the two 12mm and lifted the rotor up to remove the pads saw that they were fine and went to remove the 17mms and i couldn't remove them cuz i didn't have a long socket but i could literally move the rotor back and forth. The only thing keeping it on was the two 17 mms is that how it is suppose to be?
this is not my car just a pic i could find to best describe my situation. I had it just like this and could easily move the rotor back and forth.

Your rotor is secured by 2 phillips screws.....I believe the two 17's you're talking about are securing the caliper bracket to the knuckle.
