Thumbs up

Usually the noise is be caused by either of the following:

1. Your brakepads might be getting low and therefore making noise.

2. Something in your rear end is doing that. The limited-slip differential usually makes noises anyway. Might want to try changing the real fluids and remember to add the GM additive and see if that helps and go from there.

Sometimes, depending on the type of wheels you have, lug nut covers, centercaps etc. make noise, too, so be sure to check them, too.

I'm sure others will pitch in with more ideas.

Just an idea..My Rotors are warped, and it kinda makes a slight clicking kinda sound when i'm coming to a stop..but it sounds like its coming from the front of my car..I'm guessing that if your rotors were warped it would be your front rotors..but just thought i'd throw that in there cuzi had a freind warp his rear rotors after doing like a 30 second brake stand...idk..just something maybe to check..Can you feel any movement in the pedal?? pulsing or anything??? Good luck with whatever it may be!

I can't say I've ever noticed any "clicking" when I stop, but I know that sometimes I can feel a slight little "clunk" when I'm slowing down, almost to a stop, but I think it's just from the transmission downshifting into 1st, and it's maybe a bit of slop in the u-joints, or the gears in the diff. I've never been concerned by any of the noises I've heard. Maybe I should though?!?!
