Loud Bang when braking

[Purefection]

Just had my front brake pads replaced and today when coming to a somewhat hard stop there was a huge bang that came from front drivers side, it felt like I hit something (I didn't hit anything). Now when I brake it's very Jerky and it clicks. Taking it in this morning to the shop that fixed it but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what would have caused this.

This isn't on a gmt400 it's on my canyon, but as far as I could tell the brake set up is very similar...

Wrong brake pads? Cracked caliper? Not leaking any brake fluid. Could it be bad abs? No abs or brake lights.

sounds like a caliper bolt came out.Had this happen on my step sons dodge 1500 when he would hit the brakes the caliper would move

I'd lean more towards stuck caliper or one of the slider pins is sticking

if it was either of those the pads would be dragging on rotor.The clicking noise and jerky feel would be something being loose.I would also check the lugs on the wheel and make sure those are all tight

Good point.

The first time it was a huge bang, then afterwards it was slight bang and it would jerk when stopping. Now the fiancé says it's fairly jerky even while driving, and every time she brakes. It's heading to the shop right now, I got her to check the lug nuts and to pull the abs fuses to disable but it's still doing it

After they replaced the brakes the truck felt kind of sluggish, and though maybe the brakes were stuck a bit

This is what I've heard thus far.

I have used this shop a lot and I do trust them. Any one have any input? Why only when braking and never any other time? What's a good cost on a rebuild for a 4l60e or should I replace? Anything that should be upgraded at the same time?

Take it to another shop

They just told me the fluid was down almost 2 litres but I just checked it yesterday before driving 4 hours and it was perfect at the cold fill line.
