Weird click noise on braking?

[getmealemon]

Hi all, my 55 plate ibiza cupra tdi makes a single click noise when i brake - not everytime but at least 50% of the time. It has recently had new pads and discs and the performance appears to be fine. Any ideas what that could be?

sounds like brake pad moving in caliper slide
did you lube up as reqd and didit have shims put back in if its that type?

Er dunno, it was done at a local garage. I've probably left it too long to take back and query so will have to wait till i have the money to have it looked at.

i was getting a click when braking and it turned out to be front wishbone back mount on its way.

Adjay - the noise does appear to be coming from the front. Was that an expensive job?

When my wishbone mount went on my Polo the knock /click was worse when braking from reverse.

One way to see if it is the wishbone, is leave it out of gear but handbrake on then go to front wheels then try to hold wheel and move it as you would to spin it even though its on the ground. if you got movement the bush is gone its usually the wishbone rear bush,the bigger bush cos there is one on the front of wishbone also. It did not cost me much I put in polyurathen bushes from powerflex payed €56. you have to take off wishbone and knock out the bush I did it with a air chisel. but a bearing press is the best option. The powerflex bushes just fit in and clamp in which is handy. no need to press them in like the original.

If it was worse when reversing it would of been the front wishbone bush not the rear wishbone bush.

Cupras shouldn't have the common bush problems because they are solid as standard. My guess would be that the garage has put the spring shims back on the wrong way round
