Ok here is the deal, their is a clicking coming from my front drivers side suspension and the faster I go the faster it clicks. I just noticed it last night while driving home and there are some wicked pot holes where I live. If anyone has any idea of what it could be or have had the same problem please let me know. thanks __________________ Mods: clear turn signals, Silverstar headlight bulbs, k&N custom CAI, removed A/C, lightened crank pulley, painted brakes, custom clutch stop, custom strut bar, x-brace, custom solid tranny mounts, Memphis sound system, Sachs sport clutch, B&M short shifter, lightened flywheel, redline MTL ....

Forgot to mention another possible cause. Sometimes a high spot on the outer edge of the rotor (corrosion) will hit the shield behind it, or if the shield gets bent ever so slightly towards the rotor. This happened several times on Opels I had owned. Can't remember how much clearance there is on the ti. | | | | | 04-12-2005, 03:17 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Delafield, WI Posts: 471 |

I had to work, wish I could have gone to represent the BMW contingent with you. I still don't have my snows off, I was supposed to have my wheels back from powdercoating last Thursday, hopefully they will be done this week. BTW, You had a great run! | | | | | 04-12-2005, 03:46 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: madison, WI Posts: 402 |

Not so much for the powdercoating but he is having a hard time with the paint stripping, was sourcing it out but the place that did the stripping is no longer doing it so they are doing it in house. If I have off work the weekend you are working on your car and you need a hand, let me know. | | | | | 04-12-2005, 12:20 PM | #12 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
