click click

i have a loud click click coming from the front end under braking, doesnt appear to be anything wrong with driveshafts as they dont make a noise on pulling off forwards or in reverse.

It oonly does this click when braking and the front end drops and bounces on the suspension, but i cant get it to make the noise when bouncing the car

any ideas?

Re: click click

warped disk or possibly a hairline crack in one of them, is it similar repetition as when you get a stone in the tread and it taps??

You sure it's not the one thing you shouldn't need reminding about (I think you still have oem springs don't you) ?

Re: click click

all checked.

moved it this morning and its stopped doing it, it was a lot cooler than the other day.
The click has been replaced with a groan, wis leads me to suspect possible sticking shock absorber.

However car is now unmovable after the outer skin of the back box finally came off whilst reversing off the drive this morning but is stuck on by about 3" of metal that needs sawing/grinding so i can remove it.
