This is for a 1997 2GNT. I have taken the car to over 10 shops and asked certified mechanics to figure out what is causing it, and nobody can seem to do it. Tell me what you think about this...
Every time I apply pressure to the brakes, the front passenger side makes a CLACKING noise intermittently. It's like [Clack, Pause, Clack, Pause, Etc]... And of course, the faster you are going while you apply the brakes the faster it clacks, and the clacking slows down along with the car. But while turning, accelerating, or anything else I get no noise from my front end. I have tightened all front suspension bolts and even removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the rotors, pads, and calipers. The pads are fine and the rotors aren't warped or cracked either. There is no vibrations or anything coming from the brakes or front end while braking, it only CLACKS. PLEASE help me figure this out as I myself am a mechanic and it's driving me crazy. Thanks for your help (hopefully if you can)...
