Have noticed recently that if I brake suddenly and when I go round a corner there's a sort of tapping/clicking noise. Thought it might be something I had in the boot but took it out and it's still doing it.
Any ideas?

Braking and cornering at the same time or it does it when braking in a straight line AND when cornering without braking?

Check all the bolts are tight on your calipers.. Also it might be the outter CV joint.

I'm confused.com!
Yes or no:
1. It does it when braking in a straight line?
2. It does it when cornering without braking?
3. It does it when cornering and braking at the same time ONLY?
