every time im at a dead stop and i accelerate i here this clank sound thats comming from the front passenger wheel. i have been under my car several time and have not seen anything wrong. but yesterday i took my car to get my front brake pads put in and i noticed this

as you can see ,the dark spots is grease that is leaking out. could this be the noise im hearing. everything else under there is in good shape nothing else looks broken or battered

 

Thats usually greasy... keep lookin!

 

i have something similiar... technician told me its the brakepads moving

 

thats correct

 

jroc-
you may want to check the pad mounting hardware up front and the shims.
If they're all okay then you need some anti-noise grease applied to the backs
of the pads and shims.

But the clanging is almost sounding like one of the pad clips isn't sitting properly.

 

grease was applied im going to check the hardware and shims...so evryone thinks it has to do with the brakes?

 

yeah jroc, i see your point, i just automatically thought it was the brakes. but.. If you have a torque wrench re-check all the torques.. I have a link for the front torque values, just search for the tech post "chassis bolts". That'll tell you all the values.

Could also be the strut mount, check that as well, makes sure it's tight, especially the top nut (center), heard of others that were loose.

 

^good call thats basically all i have left to check, i read that in another forum as well.

 

a friend had a smiliar problem/noise...it happened to be her strut...the bolts were lose for w/e reason

GL hope you fix the problem
