malraymal Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have a 1999 Lexus GS400, I have a clicking noise coming from the front end when I am turning and braking at the same time. Does not happen when braking in a straight line. Took it to 2 shops and they can't find out what wrong with it. Was wondering what you all thought of it... Thanks to all who reply!

I had this problem as well. I looked into it myself and noticed that the holes on the disc (aftermarket) where the wheel studs go were significantly bigger than the studs on the hub, this meant that the disc could move around before resting on the studs to stop the car. When driving in a linear motion they disc would already be lying on the stud but when you turn, the disk moves around some before making contact with the studs. I bought the origonal discs from the dealer, threw them on and the noise went away. Look into it and see if the hub moves around when you take off the wheel.

Interesting....Are you referring to the brake discs? If so did that happen on all 4 or just the front. Wouldn't that cause some rubbing and/or distruction over time? I'll check it out. I haven't seen any grooves cut into any metal the last time I changed the brakes, but I'll look a little closer. Thanks for your reply!
