need help diagnosing a noise from my front drivers side wheel area --->
it seems at very very low speeds (from a stop to a roll start) or when turning the wheel and moving very slowly, i am hearing a *CLICKING* noise from what seems to be the wheel area.
any idea what this could be? i know its vague, and performance of the car and/or suspension is not affected, however with my windows down i can hear it quite well......
i checked my brakes, suspension and re-torqued my lugs for my GT3s...any other ideas?

If it's a regular clicking that's related to the car's speed, then
it's probably a CV joint. If it's random, then it might be a brake pad rattling (common problem - Shameless had the same issues).
If it's a CV joint, get it fized ASAP.

Exactly what it is. I had a problem where the pads were not releasing completly<more>
the result was a rubbing sound when accelerating from a stop up to 25 mph. i called stoptech and they suggested i file the edges a little bit. Another thought was that the caliper was dirty inside. So i cleaned the insides.
By filing the sides(so the pads fit snuggly) i solved one problem but produced another. The clicking sound. When my axxis pads are shot i will try it again.
I still think the problem has to do with the pistons in the RF caliper. I never had an issue with the pads not releasing until this spring.
Any thoughts?
