Ooof. Probably a loose bolt, there are two that hold the caliper to the U-shaped bracket, and two more that hold the whole caliper and bracket to the hub. Check the bolts to make sure the threads are still good, and torque them down.

I would take the wheel off and check all the bolts to make sure that they are all tightened. If those are all tightened, I would look for other defects.

i just took mine off to paint the center of my rotors black. When I put them back together, I used loctite on the 4 bolts that hold everthing on.

Not exactly the bolts that I would choose to come loose...

Do you have aftermarket calipers or rims? How long since you have done anything to them?
