Just installed 4 sets of ceramic pads from O'reilly on my 2006 CRD Sport. About a week later I'm off road and I start hearing this groan (front end I think).
I figured brake pads wearing in. So two weeks and 1000 miles more and the groan has not gone away. It usually starts when I'm beginning to
stop when I touch the brakes lightly. As I press the brake pedal harder it goes away. Sometimes I hear the groan softly when moving slow and not even
pressing the brake. The caliper pins seem fine and I lightly greased the contact points on the piston and caliper but it didn't help. Are the pads suspect or is something else going on here?

Installed a set of Raybestos Pro ceramics. with the same results. I guess rotors would be the next thing. It is definitely brake related.
