Front brake pad is loose

In replacing the rotors, did you also install new brake pads? Get the PBR Metal Masters from eEuroparts? Quick answer, as I experienced over the weekend, is that these pads are a little loose and are allowed to shift back and forth a little, causing a reciprocal clunk, clunk, clunk.
Last such part I'm getting from eEuroparts. Will only be getting hard-to-find electrical parts from him from now on -- too many occurrences of doing simple jobs twice owing to poor quality parts.
I solved my problem by reinstalling the old pad, which still has plenty of life left. It was the inner pad in the front right in my case. Ask me how happy I was with that!
If you did reuse your old pads, try a new set -- go with the Saab part from the dealer, sorry to say.
