Hi everyone. I just got my 02 LS430 and I love it. Yesterday afternoon after driving around with the windows down, each time I braked I could hear a metal clicking sound coming from the drivers side front corner. It's quite noticeable and has me worried. The brakes on the car are new, and I am experiencing now wheel wobble or fade, if I hadn't had the windows down I never would have heard it. Any thoughts on what it could be?

 

Something in your brakes are seizing up and needs to be lubricated.

This is very common in the 2GS, where the caliper's sliding pins are seizing up, it clicks when I apply the brakes. Our 03' GS3 is doing that right now, I need to go lube up the pins when I have a chance.

But since the LS430 don't have caliper's sliding pins, the only thing I can think of is the caliper's pistons.

That's my 2 cents, good luck.

 

Have the same sound in the same corner. Can't feel it and doesn't cause any problems. Was told by a tech the 430 makes "unexplainable" noise. I say bs. Let us know if u take it in to get fixed
