Default Can anyone help me diagnose this problem?

Recently my car started making a clicking noise similar to the way an axel sounds when its crapped out. However, it only happens when I am slowing down to a complete stop. Just to rule out the axles, I replaced the side where the clicking was coming from but that didn't fix the problem. It doesn't make any noise on turns, only when I am breaking at very low speeds. Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Being that it's related to speed, all of your front brake equipment is up to par?

Well replace those first and let us know if the problem persists.

I can't see how that would really contribute to the sound you're describing, but it wouldn't help to change them out anyway.

Wheel bearing maybe? Does it sound like metal to metal contact?

Anyhow... Allways start with the broken stuff and then you will have a fresh start to look for the click noise.
Fix the rotor and that might get rid of the sound, it could cause the pads (if really warped) to shift around and make noise...


Yes Reid said the same thing, just want to renforce it.

the sound does make me not want to stop, but every once in a while I have to get gas.

When I pull off from a stop or accelerate, I get a click noise coming from the wheels. It is just a sharp "click", almost like a chirp. It is not continuous. a few clicks and it stops.

Well, after 3 days Acura gives me back the R, and guess what it's fixed! I asked them what the problem was and thay said they didn't know They pulled my axles to replace them, but mine were in perfect condition so they reinstalled them, and checked the vehicle again the noise was still there. So they lifted her back up and torqued everything up front to spec. and he said I mean everything, and when they took her out again problem solved. He told me to keep him posted, but he thinks I won't have this problem again. Sorry, but they said they have no idea what caused the noise, but after they torgued everything I can't get it to make the noise under any situation. Take it to Acura and have them torque everything and your problem will be solved. I think I caused the problem doing some fun runs at a auto-x where I did some extreme drifting, and the R hooked so hard that my helmet hit the drivers window a few times, because after that my door didn't open or close the same for a few days, then it went back to normal.
