There are two thin metal spacers on each wheel (one at the top, one at the bottom) that always try to fall out when you open up the caliper. When I last did mine, I didn't seat them quite right and they caused this noise, plus a little squeak. Should be a real easy fix, just pop the top slide out and make sure they're lined up just right. Might not be this simple, but I highly doubt it's anything as serious as an axle rod... I'd at least check those out before you go dropping any money on a brake job.

You mentioned warranty, how much are they going to cover?
