AustinGT Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi guys... back with another question... when I am braking with the windows and sunroof open, I hear a ticking sound that is speed related- the sound slows down as the car slows. I am thinking it could be something related to the brakes, as it only occurs when braking, but the pedal feels okay and the fluid reservoir is full. I tend to overreact to little noises like this, but when it comes to something related to brakes I would rather not chance it... thanks in advance for any help!

AustinGT Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 -An update- I just went to a local Midas (my dad has been pleased w/their work in the past) and they replaced the left rear wheel bearing ($450- seems a little steep) but that hasn't helped . The ticking is still there, but what is most concerning is when my car is at slow idle (about 600 rpm) and I am pulling into or out of a parking spot, when the brakes are applied a noticeable "pop" sound can be heard. It only happens once, but is most noticeable at the slow idle speed.... I know that I will be needing all my rotors resurfaced and new rear brake pads soon, however I doubt either of those things could cause the popping noise. I have put thousands of dollars into this car over the past two years (4500+):cries: , so I am hoping it isn't something major, but if it a safety issue I will address it right away. The car has newer front pads and rotors, as well as new shocks all around.... any help would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, water under the bridge. I would look at the calipers, possibly a sticking piston or a rough slider. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
