That's what happens when your brake lines are not bled properly. You should at least bleed that specific line ... in addition to any other lines that are further from the master cylinder than the caliper from which you removed those pads.

I can almost guarantee it's not a defect in the pad.

Good luck.

OK. I was thinking you meant the worn out ones were the Auto Zone pads.

How much were the new Auto Zone pads?
