Hey everyone,
Recently i had been hearing some heavy knocking from the front and clicking sounds from the right front wheel and have no clue now what it is.
At first i thought the sounds were a result of needing front end parts as ALL my parts were worn till it was the metal rubbing the bolts holding them.

I have since, changed all the parts from strut mounts to banana arms and now the heavy knocking is gone, but the clicking is still there (only while driving straight and increases in frequency as i accelerate and one loud clack when i initially apply brakes). So i imagined it was my cv joints gone bad, so i did all the tricks to test em, (full lock left and right while i reverse) and got no issues, so i assume no problems there.....

i then jacked up the right side, turned the wheel with my hands and the clicking is noticed...took out my brake pads and turned more and the sound is gone......don't wanna say warped rotors so please someone tell me what they thinking...

Thanks,
Stefan

rotors you can tell, cus they normally come with vibration while braking. check if there is something on the caliper sticking out or could make the sound. is the clicking sound from the pads, where is it coming from from your last sentence. how does the wear on the brake pads look? did the sound return when you put back the brake pads?

took of the pas and wiped em and stuff, cleaned my calipers and put the pads back in.......i noticed a nice lip on my rotors tho, so i'll skim them and see what happens.
