Please advise,
I have developed a "click" when I turn right (uk)
I don't hear it during normal running only at slow speed and turning with the click coming from the left front underside of the car, I suspect suspension not steering but it's only a guess.
Any thoughts? it's just past the MOT without any issues apart from the rear brake pipes starting to corrode.
Thanks
Paul

 

Various things it could be and passing an MoT doesn't mean a car is trouble free - things can be missed, or be wrong but not an MoT item. (Silly example, different size wheels - it happens - would probably be missed and would be a criminal offence even so as the car would fall foul of the law.)

If you can't go prying the car and so on, think about an indy who can. It's good you noticed it as it's likely to be cheaper to fix if done soonest.

 

It is always helpful to include the MY, number of kilometres/miles on the vehicle and the engine size.

Are there any foreign objects caught in the tyre tread? Has any work to the braking system been recently carried out? Are there any DTCs stored in the system?

 

Thanks for the response, The car is a 3ltr S type M63784 auto 70k
I do have a slight movement / click at the brake pads when I reverse then move forward this being a slight difference in the pad shape, but when I am continuing "forward" there is no noise. (pads done 30k since 09 and checked for wear last month)
The noise mentioned in the thread is new
I know not to presume MOT's are infallible, but thanks for the reminder

ps is it possible to shim the pads to prevent the above pad movement as the garages must come across this all the time with aftermarket pads?

 

As I recall the OE ones have sprung clips (but mine has different - Brembo - brakes).

 

I had similar clicking problem when turning right, roundabouts etc. Turned out to be some small stones caught behind the LHS front wheel brake dust guard. Removed the stones, problem gone
