Hi everyone,
I've been noticing a clicking noise when the rx comes to a complete stop and accelerating from a stop. Sounds like a sticky caliper but just wondering if it could be some other suspension issue and if any other rx350 owners are experiencing the same thing

 

Could be the caliper which the techs say it is normal. It is most typically heard when reversing and hitting the brakes though. Best way to find out is have someone drive the car while you stand outside and listen.

 

Yes exactly! Well im glad to hear its normal but it happens so often and so prevalent it makes me anxious when im driving especially when the windows are down. You could hear it clicking. And considering the car is only a year old im wondering if i should take it to the dealer to have it checked out

 

Take the playing cards out of the spokes?



(sorry, I just couldn't resist)

 

Yes. Possible safety item. Should be free. They will probably lube or put stickum on the offending part.

 

Sounds good, my 15,000 mile service is coming up anyways.

 

Anti-rattle or positioning clips on the brake pads can swell from rust a bit once exposed to the weather for a while.
Add some rust & grime build up on the outer edge of the disc & you can hear just what you are describing.
