Creaking noise coming from front brakes
 

I am getting a creaking noise everytime I pull away from a complete stop. Its not a suspension problem. It is coming from the brake caliper for sure. I can hear it when I press hard on the brakes then release them. It sounds like a metal on metal creak. It only does it for a second, but its annoying. I did not know if I need to lubricate anything on the brake assy. Any help would be appreciated.

when was the last time u ck the pads?where do u live?,by water,how many miles on audi? ok more input would help,
pm me will try to help,

Brakes are brand new. Everything was cleaned and is spotless. I live in Wisconsin the car is kept inside and isn't even driven in the rain. I think that metal spring clip is rubbing on the aluminum. 60k on car

Questions...
 

What brand of pads? If not factory, did they come w/ some kind of of shim material on the back side of pad metal backing plate? And if not factory, did they seem to fit snugly w/in the caliper or what there a bunch of play laterally (beyond a mm or so)?


Did you use any lubricant on pad caliper pins or on backing of brake pads (or alternately anti squeal compound on back of pad)?

Any chance your lug bolts are a tiny bit loose?
