lol, I got ya. i googled "exhaust bearings" and after looking at them I laughed. I got you now. Laugh at the new guy, it's all good. It happens when I apply the break and only happens when I'm passing 40 mph on the way down. It's one click, and that's it. It never happens at any other time. The breaks are performing great, so I'm not sure.

Hopefully it's not the Johnson Rod. That last thing you want is a bent Johnson Rod.

To the OP, have you recently had the brakes worked on? What about the wheels? When did those go on?

I've had the wheels on for four months now. The brakes haven't been touched. I'm thinking I'll take her in and get them looked at. Figure its almost time anyways.

Sounds like all that's required is a minor adjustment. Taking it to be looked at is the right thing for you to do.

I'd pull the wheel off- if the lugs are not loose, look at the contact marks on the back of mounting flange, be sure it was seated well...with any car running aftermarket wheels, be sure any 'clips' the factory used to hold the rotors on were removed- many aftermarket wheels have no- or smaller- backside spotface than factory wheels, and clips can cause the wheels to not sit flat.
