Clicking sound from passenger rear area when weight is loaded

jms_w · 10-02-2013, 08:58 AM

When I make a hard left turn at 15mph or more I hear clicking from the passenger rear area. It is louder the more load is put on that side and the clicking is faster as I drive faster. I do not hear the clicking when driving in a straight line, even with the top down. Has anyone had this problem? Hopefully it's something I can repair myself. Car out of warranty. Thanks in advance.

The rear brake dust shield making the noise on turns

Thanks. I've read a few of them. Mine seems different. Doesn't happen from a dead stop. Only happens when I turn left and hard (weight of car leaning on right side). No scraping sounds. I'll try looking at the rear brake shield for a pebble but with the way I drive it should've been gone a long time ago. I've had this nuisance for months now. I'll keep everyone posted.

So I was finally able to find the thread that speaks to this very issue. And it's only because another member responded to an older thread. When you search for "clicking" I get stuff related to brake dust shields. BUT if you search for "ticking" I get this thread:

Hopefully this helps those using the "wrong" search criteria.
