Front end clicking noise video

Hi Guys,

You may have seen my newbie post in the other thread.

Side note here from me as I try to figure out what this noise is.

Anyone here had the same noise and fixed?

Thanks in advance

You need friction discs installed between the brake rotor and wheel bearing hub. There is an SIB for this concern. It only affects lightweight brake rotors.

I have the same issue and my dealership installed friction discs and I am still having the same issue.

Edit: I lied I have a clicking noise that happens when I turn the steering wheel right or left. Even when driving in low speed or standing still and turning the steering wheel.

Mine only does when the car is moving, yours might be different issue if the slip discs didnt change and does when not moving?

They're literally just a thin metal ring. Maybe 0.3mm or smaller in thickness. Cars do not come with them from factory. This friction ring is meant to fix a ticking noise heard from axle when turning at slow speeds and not braking

The lightweight rotors have a rounded hat versus a squared hat. You can kind of see the little circle pins in the rotor hat
