I just replaced my front brakes on a 2004 Lexus ES 330. After getting the car back the brakes squeaked and made a sort of clunking noise. I brought the car back and was told by the mechanic that the noises are due to the thicker brake pads in relation to the pins in the calibers, which are old. Is this correct? If so, will the noises alleviate? If not, what should I tell the mechanic? Thank you.

Squeaking might be corrected with an application of CRC anti-squeal compound or equivalent. Clunking is likely due to wear in the 19-year-old brake parts, but the work done should be double-checked in case a bolt was not tightened properly and is working loose.
Thanks
