MY98 5dr Turbo - No mods.

How far or how hard the card has been driven makes no difference, but when I pull up on the road to back into my drive, I turn to the left as I come to a stop, in order to back into the drive.

When I do this, I get quite a load click from the front brakes, sounds like the brake calipers slopping about or something like that ?

Any suggestions ?

Pads are moving slighly,it does it on mine but with brakes you should always check for loose bolts etc just in case.

Pads may be getting stuck on pins going through the calipers and then slap onto discs.
Take pins out and scrape/sand off corrosion. Put copper grease stuff on carefully and pads should move easily.
It seems to return evry six months on mine but is an easy fix.

Cheers, I would have guessed at something like this, but it's always as well to ask as most times someone else has already come across and fixed it.

So, I'll get the wheels off and give that a check next time it stops raining. . . . . . . :-( whenever that will be ?

I had similar problem on my Sierra XR4x4, but it happened when I reversed out of/ down the drive with left hand down. I changed both front drive shafts and discs at enormous expense and aggro, and it still happened.

It turned out to be the bolts holding the anti-roll bar bracket to the chassis rails, one was loose, only half a turn, but this was enough to cause the clicking grief.

Not saying the XR4x4 is the same as a Scoob, but "check your nuts" (and bolts)
