Angry There's something wrong!

Some of you may remember, my really loud brake noise coming from the front passenger side wheel well. That turned out to be a loose caliper. Now the noise is coming back, only this time, when I'm at a slow roll, or when I give it slight gas, there's a tick...tick...tick... noise coming from the same side, I can feel the ticks through the pedal when my foot is on it.

Gosh it's so frustrating trying to look all cool for the ladies, then you get close and they hear the noises your car is giving off and they slowly back away.

Any ideas?

Re: There's something wrong!

No ideas other than replacing the entire caliper on the passenger side - maybe even get a used one for cheap from someone who's parting out a car.

That statement below just cracks me up! Brings back memories of high school and driving around in crappy ol' cars!

I'm thinking once I get settled in in Jersey, I'll take care of all the qwerks my car has accumulated. Hopefully, THIS time they'll stay away for a little while. Atleast for the summer when all the ladies are scantily clad

Have your CV axles checked. Mine was making a clicking sound and sure enough, that was my problem. Just a thought.
