Clicking Sound ... Need some help
Hey guys. I just replaced my brake pads and brakelines this past weekend. I did it over two steps.
Sat I replaced the pads and bedded them .... I then drove the car all sat night and most of sunday day.
Sunday late afternoon I did the brakelines (Stoptech kit). I installed them bled them and took it for a test drive. Everything worked fine.
I then went and locked up my warehouse and went to drive home a heard a weird clicking sound coming from the front drivers side. I thought maybe I didnt tighten something so I put the car up on a jack stand and pulled the wheel off. Went over everything. Calipers bolts, caliper pins, made sure the spring is in place, check the lines and made sure they where tight and nothing was hitting anything and everything was all good and tight and where is supose to be
Now Im stumpped. The only other thing I did when doing the brakelines was spray degreaser on the suspension as it was really dirty and cleaned off my coilovers. Not sure if this would have done something to the coilovers and make them make a clicking??!?!?!
Oh also I hear it at low speeds usually when the car is in first and crusing with the clutch out (not pressed in). It almost sounds like the coilovers but im not sure its like click click and sounds like something is loose.
Any input would be great!

I found out what it is. Well not a 100% but it seemed to fix it. The lower bolt that holds the coilover to the control arm was loose about 2 full turns. I also prayed the suspension down with lubricant just incase the degreaser was making the coil stick in the perch. Seems to be working.
