clicking under braking...

[john.med]

i've got new discs and pads on front. Have been on a few months i guess. The front and back have been checked at service last week. I get a repeated ticking noise from o/s when window is open and under braking. Mainly at slow speeds. Not loud enough to really concern, but is bugging. Sounds like a creak sometimes. Anyone got a clue?

Stone in the tread of the tyres?

Check the clip on the cv joint gaitor , it could have snapped , it's quite common .A quick indication would be grease on the inside of the wheel .

Like I said it went in for a service and they gave it the once over, they found my rear springs had snapped (like they do) but that was it... I'll have a look at the CV joint, but I think they'd have noticed that. It's a good little indie garage who serviced it.

Take it back to the garage then and get them to check it over " again " . Even the best garages can miss things .

Checked the CV boots yesterday, they're in good condition. Haven't really got the time to go the garage again this week

Its probably the pads in the calipers. I took the metal bits out of mine when i fitted new uprated pads. They click a bit when braking when goin slow. Mite be that. if so, forget bout it

sorry, just read ur original thread properly so probably wont be this

dan, it's only under braking and at slow speeds. My original post wasn't so clear, reading it now. I think it is the pads, and i'll have to get the copper slip on them. Or just ignore it! Thanks. John
