    Ok lately I've been experiencing this click clack noise when I'm hitting bumps. So far I've replaced sway bar bushings. Sway bar links. Tie rod ends. I noticed that if I release my foot off my brake pedal I hear a click.

    After investigating I noticed that my rotors seem loose. I have 12 inch rotors. Could this be the click clack noise?

    Any ideas would be awesome! This is getting Annoying lol.

    Maybe, check your strut mounts, I just replaced mine they were making some whacky noises in the front end.

    Check the condition of the bushings on the lower control arms. They usually make more of a popping noise but its worth checking

    If your rotors are loose, tighten your lug nuts properly. Your wheels hold the rotors on the lugs/hub.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Ok so that explains the looseness when the wheel is off. They are held in place by the wheel. Ok got ya. Thanks.
