Help- Rhythmic clunk after rotors and brake pads changed
I had a pulsation in my steering that the Midas shop said was from my brakes/rotors, so I changed my brake pads and rotors on 3 tires (couldn't get a bolt off the caliper on the pass. rear. I've ordered a caliper w. mounting bracket so I can cut the bolt and replace the rotor/pads on the final wheel.) All seemed good; car drove fine. Later that evening, I hit a major pothole while driving and immediately heard a rhythmic clunking coming from the rear. Sometimes is sounds like it's only from the dr. rear, sometimes it sounds like it's coming from both sides.) So I slowed down and the rhythm of the clunking slowed down too. The clunking comes and goes, usually won't happen above 40mph, and always gets faster if I go faster/slower if I go slower. Also, turning to the right makes it way louder.
Since (at first) I thought it only sounded like it was coming from the pass. rear, I replaced the caliper and bled the brakes bc I thought the caliper might be stuck. Unfortunately the sound came back.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what's making the noise or what I need to check? Did I screw something up on the brake job, or is this noise solely from the pothole hit?
