Clicking noise up front when braking? 98 LS
Hey guys so I have an LS, just lowered with new struts and springs & 230k miles. Runs excellent.
I am getting a clunk over the smallest potholes, bushings seem to squeak when car is cold and recently I'm getting a clicking noise from both sides up front.
It usually happens when I leave me house and start slowing down to the first stop sign and then youll hear the left side click then the right side, you can't make the sound on purpose by turning the wheel, it happens when it wants, usually slowing down, or barely turning the wheel slowing down.
Since it's a RWD, I ruled CV joints out..
What could be the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

i've noticed the same thing has been happening to my 99 recently. it's usually after everything is warm, and if you're just lightly pressing the brake pedal, like maybe halfway or so, there'll be some kind of clicking noise from the front, sounds mostly like only the front right. would that also be a strut rod bushing issue?
