My gf has 07 Honda accord. I replaced brakes on it over a month ago and shortly after i notice when put in reverse and back out then put in drive and move few feet i hear a clank in front brakes like pads are sliding?? What could be wrong or what can i look for. The aftermarket pads i got from Advance didnt come with shims or whatever wondering if that may be the problem??

Normal, especially with aftermarket pads that vary in size/fitment, but it can even happen with OE pads sometimes. The noises you're hearing are the pads shifting in the calipers as the car changes direction. It should only happen once, each time you change direction.

The shims that you get with OE pads are only there to reduce/eliminate squealing.

Pad knock. Mine does it every morning after I back out of the driveway and make my first stop at the end of the street.

Edit: I have stock pads BTW.

The old pad retainers may need to be adjusted (if that's possible) for the smaller pads, but it shouldn't create a problem, except for the noise. I hope he used the old shims, and applied the anti squeal paste.
