jbrown Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 When braking my 99 Outback makes a moderately loud click sound, it happens when I've almost stoped. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwatt Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 When braking my 99 Outback makes a moderately loud click sound, it happens when I've almost stoped. Any ideas?Thanks My '99 Legacy GT wagon makes a single, loud click/snap noise the first time the brakes are applied during that drive cycle. Then it won't do it again during that trip. Is that what yours does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same sound occurs when almost stopped but doesn't happen during regular braking/driving, when you say "drive cycle" is that between stops or an entire trip?

Entire trip. On my car, the noise occurs only the first time the brakes are used during a trip, then it won't happen again during that trip. It's a "click/snap" noise in the front suspension---not the normal sound of the ABS going thru it's "self-test"---it occurs when the vehicle is almost stopped. I suspect the front strut mounts are the source of the noise on my car, but it's hard to "pin it down" because of frequency of occurance.....

The sound is before each stop, will probably have it checked out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
