Clicking noise from the wheels & what to expect from serivece dept

[advan05]

Hi all,

My car's front wheels started making this weird "clicking" noises when driven in low speed. Sometimes noise disappear but returns later..

When driven in heavy rain the noise became more like "squeal"

My guesses are whether sticky brake pads or bearings???

If any of you have had same problem please share them here

Also, I am taking the car in later today to check on this; what can I expect from the service dept? Are they going to charge me for the initial check up too? I have never taken the car to the Hyundai dealership after purchasing it used.

Thanks and I will keep this updated when I return from the dealership later today

Get rid of the sheilds and buy high quality pads and you won't have much of a dust problem. Also shields can make brakes overheat and fade in hard braking.

i think they are factory (oem, standard on all of ours)

I took the sheilds to be aftermarket dust ones that fit on the outside just behind the wheel, not the ones on the inside behind rotors that are stationary splash shields (not dust shields).

yeah, figured that. i had a noisy one before on another vehicle, so i knew right away what he meant. like you i would NEVER put those brake dust shields on any of my vehicles for the reasons you've mentioned..

oh no, yea tonygxp is right it is standard one that comes on the car. I just wasn't sure what the exact name was. Thanks for the input guys I am also glad it was easy fix!
