Left front wheel clanking noise

Abenitez · 09-22-2012, 03:25 PM

Hey guys I have a weird noise coming from my left front tire. When I accelerate and remove my foot from the pedals, the noise goes "clink clink clink clink". As the speed decreases, the past at which it "clinks" decreases (slower and at a different pace). When I apply the brake, the noise goes away completely. No idea what it could be. I'm assuming either rotors, brakes or brake caliper. Car has a little under 19K miles. Anyone that can chip in would help me greatly!

Sounds like the anti-rattle clip is either loose or gone, check that first.

I agree with Peter but since you're under warranty - just take it to a dealer and let us know what is was.
