Why is my car making a clicking noise when i brake and/or turn but otherwise makes no noise?

Question

the car is a 2002 pontiac grand am gt.

Answer 1

a cv joint usually clicks on turns, but it could be a cv joint.

Answer 2

Your constant velocity (CV) joints are going bad.  These are the gears that connect two drive shafts to the front wheels of the car.  You can drive for a while with failing CV joints, but when the fail your car will be immobilized, possible at a bad time.  Did your mechanic look at the CV joint boots?

Answer 3

its your brakes. time to have them replaced!!!

Answer 4

Something hitting the tire, such as a loose plastic inner fender. When you are moving, the air can push the inner fender. When you slow down (the front of the car dips) or turn, the wheel hits the inner fender. Could also be a piece of tree branch.

Just look around in there.

Answer 5

It's probably your cv joints or axles.
