when ever i break i get this loud clicking noise from passenger front tire...only 9k on my car its a 2001 ta any ideas?

 

If not, you might check the metal tabs in your brake calipers. These tabs are supposed to be bent down when you install the pads, but if not, they move around and click when you turn and when brake is applied.

Just a thought - I had this very same thing after a rotor/pad replacement at a local shop.


John.

 

Did you check the lugnuts to see if they are loose? When I got my new wheels put on about 100 miles later there was a loud clicking noise coming from my back tire and I looked at everything trying to find the problem and finally my wife of all people asked if the tire was on there tight after telling her that she was crazy i checked and sure enough every lug nut wasnt even finger tight.

 

Not sure about the Trans Am wheels but I had the same clicking/crinkling sound from my front passenger side wheel a while ago on my old LT1 wheels.

It ended up being that the lugnut cover was loose and rotating freely in the rim. Fixed it with a little double sided foam tape on the inside of the cover where it makes contact with the rim/lugnuts (made the cover fit snug into the rim with no slop)

Just a thought...

 

well check all the lugnuts...they were fine so i changed rotors and brake pads.... noise went away. rotors were probly warped. sounds like that happens alot around here

 

glad your prob is fixed... and I see in your sig that you have the K&N fipk just wondering how you like it a lot of people on here who dont have it knock it but I love mine felt a huge power difference, well just curious.

 

i love it.... the lid with the gay super sucker ram air is ridiculous.... i laugh my azz off when i read these post about it. Ive notiiced a huge gain wtih the kn flter. plus it looks really good!

 

Listen strawberry, just because you didn;t go with the lid doesn;t mean you have to knock that or the SSRA. The fact of the matter is you paid more and gained the same numbers as I did. Its been tested before and compared constantly. I see no reason to refer to either one as "gay", so now I am laughing my "azz" off

 

haha god are u stupid!

lid-$100
ssra-$200
filter-$50
maybe even a bellow-50.00

or
kn fipk-300.00

plus i get a bellow in the kit for free!


plain and simple the fipk is cheaper and better... get over it!
