    I have this clicking sound when I brake and when I turn the steering wheel. Most of the time when I step on the brake it "clicks", and also sometimes when I'm driving along its just starts clicking repeatedly. It sounds like its coming from the front left somewhere. It doesn't to it all the time though. The steering and the brake feel fine and I've looked everywhere under the car but can't find anything knocking or touching anything. It's annoying the crap out of me. Does anybody have any idea what it might be? Before I take it to the mechanic?

    Cheers....

    scratch guages tend to scratch, rather than click, it could be a wheel bearing?

    provided this is an AE86, it doesnt have CV joints, being a rear wheel drive car.

    try jacking your car up and wiggling the wheel around a little, see if it moves much, and if the noise happens.

    i would be checking the brake pads too.

    also check the tyres to make sure there isnt a nail or something silly stuck in one of them, you may laugh, but it happens

    I had a super annoying rattling coming from the front of the car, checked everything twice and couldn't find any broken or lose bits. Eventually figured out it was the brake pads didn't have their clips so they were working fine but rattling like bejesus over any kind of bump.

    what should i spend my 100 on first. hehe

    i agree, why would it make the noise only when braking and turning. if it was noisy it would get faster with engine RPM....
