Hello everyone.. I'm experiencing a disturbing "tick" sound coming from the front left when i brake hard. Started last night at Edsa when i had to suddenly stop because of a bus.

Any inputs on what it might be?

Lose caliper? Wearing brake pads?

Any of you guys have experienced this too?

hehe ano ba to, kainis, dami gastos! Sad

actually, yung sakin hindi kumikiskis. there's actually a "tuk" sound when i step on the brakes hard.. will have it checked monday. if sched permits, sa Nissan UN ako.

in your case, if kumikiskis, baka worn out na brake pads mo?

try mo i-jack, then hawakan mo gulong sa 12 & 6 o'clock position and galawin mo - pag may play or pag inikot mo may ma-feel ka na sabit maaring wheel bearing yan.
dalawahan palit nyan, only 1 side - no good, cannot be. kapapalit ko lang last month, yan yung una kong naramdaman, parang kiskis muna then ugong then lagutuk-tok which is malala na.
if not, pang-ilalim mo, or cv joint? pag worn-out na pads iba na tunog nun e. pero puwede din na may loose.
meron pa...nag-park ako sa open na hindi paved, gravel na pino. pauwi na ako at nagbaba ako ng window, narinig ko kiskis na kiskis as in bakal talaga!
sabi ko sa sarili ko wala na talaga bearing pero bakit bakal na kaagad? Sad

expecting the worst nung binabaklas na namin ayun pala maingay, bato na pumasok sa backing plate or tawag din splash guard ng left front disc rotor.
malamang galing sa parking.
hehe akala ko kinain na wheel hub, buti na lang... ilan na mileage mga xty nyo? sa akin malapit na 70k.
madugo, ma, du, go, dugo, go. . .

hello! just an update.. finally had the chance to go for my change oil/ tune up. i used royal purple 15w- 40, ngk iridium spark plugs, ganda na ulet ng takbo!

anyway.. so pinacheck ko na din yung front-left na pangilalim.
first we checked kung may play yung gulong, wala naman.
then inspected everything, from the caliper, stab link, tie rods, wala parin. (well, halos bago pa naman lahat ng pang ilalim ko, had those changed last may)

my mechanic thinks na shock absorber na daw ang problem since hindi pa napapalitan yun since 2004 and lumalabas lang yung "tuk" sound while braking with the wheel slightly turned to the left. pag paatras naman ako then i brake suddenly, wala namang tunog so maybe yung front left shock nga ang problema.

any opinions?

I called nisparts banawe, nasa 3,400 daw isa Crying or Very sad

update again!

actually, nabawasan na yung tunog when we tightened the screws on the left shock mount pero meron parin.

i was able to buy KYB Excel G Shock Absorbers today at Php 3,300 a piece at Nisparts Old Banawe with free 2 bottles of mineral water. haha!

i was supposed to get it installed today at Servitek Trancepeak because my mechanic was busy for the day and they were charging a whopping Php1,050 per tire! wala pa camber alignment dun! rip off sobra!

will just wait till his schedule clears up so i can bring my car there.
