Brakes?

When I push the brake pedal, I hear a loud click that seems to be coming from the rear. I origanally thought it waqs one of my front calipers, but I replaced everything up front and its still there. I ruled out suspension from the car rocking forward when braking because it will make the noise if I step on the brake just enough to feel a little tension, without the car really slowing down any. I'm, rebuilding the back brakes this weekend, will this fix it?

I have had the same problem before. I bought OEM GM calipers which are vinyl-backed and the problem went away.

moving to the brakes board, you should find more help there.
