Weird clicking sound

good to hear i was right
you can get this glue kinda stuff that you put on the back of the pad that sticks it to the caliper its a soft gewy stuff not shure what its called
this reduced the problem but still was slightly there after a while

Did the noise go away after you replaced the pads?
I forgot to ask the mechanic was it a problem with the pads itself or was it the caliper.

Does that mean i should get OEM brake pads next time so that they will fit firmly and not make this annoying sound no more?

i got told it was the pads
i never changed the pads i upgraded to bigger calipers and rotors

Onto the hoist it went, all nuts and bolts tightened, suspension checked and he still couldnt find the source. Eventually he found what he thought was the source, and it is as SKREMN described.

The after market slotted brake pad didnt fit fully into the calipers hence there was some forward movement. So basically every now and then it will fall out of place and cause the clicking sound. But i was really relieved to hear it wasnt a major problem or safety issue.

So does that mean once i change the pads the sound should disappear?

Ok so I FINALLY got my car down to a mechanic to get it checked out. Have same problem as above with brake pads. Apparently the spring that holds them in place may be loose. He said it is not anything serious and change of brake pads should fix problem.. :D

They did that for me as well.. Helped a bit.. Noise is still there ocassionally. Is good to know there is nothing major wrong but!

[quote=jaffa_cree;594583]This sounds very similar to the clicking noise i hear on my car, a 98 Prelude VTIR. You hear this clicking noise to the front right of the car when taking off or slowing down. Generally only occurs in 1st and 2nd as the car picks up speed (e.g. when you release clutch and start to gas). Can be multiple clicks at time.

i have a 91 teg LS an i justed rotated my tyres from rear to front, coz my fronts wer wearing abit, anyways...after doing so...i noticed my front right makes a weird thumping sound..an i feel it abit in my pedals, well only in my clutch an brake, but i cant hear the problem while im driving coz ma car 2 loud..lol, but pretty much well im rolling along wen parkin or in a slow gear...
so i put in a test....
i was going down a hill and i put it in netural an heard the sound 4 sure..that wasnt der b4...i make no sound or problem when turing either.

i had my radiator service the other month, and before that i had my starter motor reconditioned and lik nearly a year ago now, i had my driveshafts replaced and i think my outer cv's on both sides.
i read this fault could b brake pads, engine mounts, or other mounts...this so???
coz i checkd the tyre and it seem to b putt on fine etc...wat else?any other info would b great, thanks.
