Default Need help!

When ever I start braking, my s2k pulls to the right pretty severely and when I release the brake it pulls just a little bit more. Also, when i release the brake, I hear a pretty loud pop\creaking noise coming from the right wheel well. It sounds a lot worse from the inside of the car than it does from outside. I had my dad walk beside the car as I tapped the brake and he had trouble targeting where the sound was coming from. I also hear the sound when hitting any amount of a bump with the right front tire. We have pushed down and pulled up on the fender above it and we can't hear anything.

I've already tried taking off the caliper and pumping the piston out then reassembling the brakes. I can't figure it out. If anyone could help, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I would check the lower ball joint, or have a shop check it as it is easier with a lift

How long have you had the car?

Has it been happening gradually over time or all of a sudden?
Did you hit anything?
Check the alignment?
Check the wheel bearings for play?
Check for wheel spacers?
Tire pressures?
Pads wearing evenly?
You took the caliper apart, so I'm assuming you took the wheel off.

Endlinks okay? Swaybar okay?

Moving to UTH.

I've had the car a week.

I didn't notice it before, but I just changed my wheels and tires to my summer set.

I didn't hit anything.

I don't know how to do any of the other stuff.
