Default Help Diagnose this noise...

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble diagnosing a clicking noise coming from one of my wheels. The clicking is heard more frequently at a higher speed but I can only hear it up to about 30mph. It seems like I can only hear it in warmer temps (around 60 degrees or warmer) and after I've been driving for awhile (around 45mins). Sometimes during breaking it sounds like a rattle. Is definitely a loose break caliper?

Thanks!

I would definitely start by pulling the wheel and inspecting the brake system. You said under braking it sounds more like a rattle. Do you feel anything in the pedal or steering wheel or is it noise only? Inspect rotor, caliber, caliber mounting bracket, pads ,and maybe the dust shield.

Yeah. No feel only noise. I'll check everything you mentioned. Thanks.
