front left clicking noises
hi guys.
i have a clicking sound issue when i brake hard. It seems that my left front side seems to click every rotation when i get on the brakes. It does it most when i brake hard or medium. but it also makes that noise when i let go of the brakes and when i slowly take off. I cant seem to identify what the problem is. Its just a weird clicking noise. its pretty loud though. passengers can hear it as well.
I've removed the sway bar end links to see if that is culprit and it is not.
this noise is bugging me. please help me find a solution.

the clicking initiates when i brake medium to hard. when i brake soft it doesnt make a noise. but when i come to a stop and slowly start rolling forward, i can hear the clicking noise but is not as apparent as when i am braking hard.

if its really at every wheel rotation its gotta be somewhat related to wheel and other things turning,
as mentioned by others check tire(s) for stones, screws, etc,
wheel lugs tight?
check brakes, pads good? play? take them out, clean caliper and pads, put new anti sqeak, replace them once they're out if they are somewhat worn (at least thats what i would do),
caliper screws tight?,
rotors visual issues?, any steering wheel shake when braking?

Looks like everyone gave some pretty good tips, but just an FYI, the dealership has a promotion for a free brake inspection, so you may want to have them take a look.

At my next oil change, I had them remove the tire to take a look and that is what they found.
