Post Brake pad clicking.....

1990 Bronco 302......I just did an entire brake job, replacing everything. The thing is now that my right front outer brake pad clicks very loudly while driving. It is wheel noise as it speeds and slows with the wheel rotation. If I depress the brake pedal even the slightest amount, not even enough to turn on the brake lights, it goes away. I tried bending the tabs down on the pad itself to hold it in place a little better on the caliper, to no avail. It is one of the most annoying sounds I have heard. Someone help, please
Thanks, John.

You might try using some of the brake quiet on the back side of the pads between them and the caliper. I actually have the same thing happening with the new brakes on my bronco. I just don't care that much, it's not that loud on mine.

Ther should be little clips that hold the brake-pads in place to keep them from rattling.

That style caliper does not use clips to hold it in place...could it be a bleeding problem?
