About a week ago I replaced my front brake pads and about 2 days ago it started making all possible clunk, tick, rattle and thud noises all at once. Then I took my wheel off and when I went for the rotor it was so loose I could move it back and forth and side to side with the caliper with brake pads still on the rotor. It doesn't seem that any nut or bolt is lose or missing every thing looks and seems as it's suppose to be. What could make it so lose like that?
