Default Single click While driving

i hear a loud single click noise when driving, first i thought it was when i left off the brakes and then maybe when i was turning but can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have this before?

Does it happen when you start to give it gas to get going? Or are you already moving?

That could be (and I suspect is) as simple as brake pad movement clicking and nothing to worry about. They shift position during these movements and due to the quiet you can hear it.


Or (less likely) a worn CV joint, so the axle boots should be inspected for tears and leaks.

Even new brakes can make this noise when you reverse, stop and then move forward. It is very common and not an indication of a problem. Now the brake guys may have negected to install all the pad shims that reduce that noise, but if not a self help mechanic then you need a shop to check it out.
Or it could be a CV joint. Look for torn boots and grease leaking around the axles and inside the wheels/tires/brake calipers as it gets flung all over the place. But if you just had your brakes done then the shop would have noticed any problems with your CV joints.

good points, Doubt it is the brakes since it was making the noise prior to the rotor pad replacement. I'll take it in again and have them check it out.
