Today I brought my car into a local mechanic to have my front upper strut mount replaced. They did that fine, but the first time I went to stop, I heard a loud clicking coming from the front right wheel, the side that the mount was replaced. So I went back and he thought the caliper spring was on wrong, which it was. He put it inside the bracket instead of on the outside. So I took it out and the pedal almost sunk to floor before I got any stopping power. So I brought it back and he bent it a little to make it work the first way he did it(inside, the wrong way), and it was fine, no clicking. Until I got to my house, it did it again. I read on here that the pedal can feel spongy if the spring is on wrong, and it did the first time. But the second time, the springs were on right and the pedal fell almost to the floor. What can the mean? And is the clicking normal for having the springs on wrong, or could it be something else? Any help is appreciated. I paid $180 for a strut mount replacement, and end up with a brake problem. :nonono:
