strange noise
Alright guys.... Well this noise only started today and it still continues as of now... Well this noise only occures whenever i slow down and press on the brakes kind of hard and/or whenever i come to a complete stop. The noise sounds like a little thump or like when someone cracks their finger. its kinda like a "dunk" sound.... well this thump/crack/"dunk" only happens once every time i stop or brake... Oh and the sound only comes from the front passenger side of my car. I dont know whether its my Tein Flex suspention or my stock brakes... But i do know that its either one of those two things.... Well if you any of you guys experienced something like this or if you guys know anything about this problem then please post it up....
thanks , juno

i get a "tick" on my brakes when i slow down. i was told it was completely normal on 02 wrx's on auto. i know yours is a 5spd 03 so i don't know how i can help but it sure does sound like what happens to my car.

Sounds like fore-aft clearance in the brake pads to caliper surface. If that's it, it's common and is nothing to worry about. We used to shim REALLY picky Lexus owner's pads - but that was just to placate them, it didn't do anything to the functionality of the brakes.

Noises aren't necessarily always indicative of a problem.

well today i jacked up my car and i took off the wheel to see if there was anything wrong but i didnt notice anything... So all i did was spray and cleaned off all the dirt etc.. and today i didnt hear anything... So i guess it was probably dirt and stuff that was causing it... Hopefully it stays this way
