Default New brake same old noise

Hi I just replaced my front rotors, pads, and calipers as well as my wheel bearings and it sounds like my pads are rubbing the rotor on the passenger. Unfortunately thats what led me to replace my brakes in the first place. Any ideas on how to resolve it?

Hmm did you buy mintex pads perhaps? I put cheapie pads in my fronts and they made such a racquet of clicks, rubbing noise and rattling that I finally stepped up to the plate and bought the green EBC pads and problem solved. No more noise.

Sorry for the late advice, but did you do the defender upgrade on the rotors and calipers?

X2 on the green EBC.

Never tried it. AB is pretty good with customer service, call them and see if they have an answer.

Well I pulled the front passenger hub back off and tapped the race ring a little further in and then put everything back together and lo and behold it works with no noise. I guess the bearing was a little off so the caliper wasnt even on the rotor.
