First off, everyone here has helped me with several problems in the past, wanted to say "thank you".

Ok now to it, all the brakes are new on my X, everything rotors, calipers, pads, drums, shoes, springs, wheel cyl. etc..

when coming to a stop i hear a single LOUD "click" noise come from the front end (seems to be the front), and as soon as i let off the brake from a stop i get the same "click" sound from the front end.. not a rattle of sorts but a single very loud click.. could this be the auto hubs? cant imagine there supposed to be that loud...

Any ideas?

Thanks again!!
 






Auto hubs will give a series of clicks and usually only when the wheels are turned. Do you only get the click onder braking or over bumps as well?
 






Not over bumps no, and i get this all the time wheels turned or not...and only braking... its very loud... but didnt notice it till i had the window rolled down...
 






***UPDATE

More Info:
Seems the noise might be coming from the front diff, and most noticable when letting off the brake pedal (just letting off pedal not pressing gas pedal)

will try and get a stethascope (sp) on there and see with someone i trust opperating the X lol...

Thanks
