Default Brake Caliper Creaking

The driver's side, front caliper on my 951 creaks when the brake pedal is depressed hard. It is not noticeable while driving, but easy to hear while sitting still. Should this be something to worry about? I have never had problems with the car stopping and everything is connected properly (nothing loose).

I am planning on attending my first driver's ed event in October and want to know if this could possibly cause any problems.

I had that problem when a mechanic failed to tighten the caliper bolts after changing the bake pads. Caliper was moving very slightly, causing a creaking sound that was really terrible. Check yours out.

All of mine started doing that, it stopped when I had them rebuilt.

I will double-check that everything is tight when I get home.

Peckster ... who did you have rebuild your calipers?
