Is200 51 Plate Slight Crick Sound?! Help : )

[Greedy80]

Hello one and all I am asking on here first because you never know some other member may have experienced the exact same symptons.

Basically I have a 51 plate 66,000 mile example of an is200 SE, when I corner right with mid intensity, for example at a round about, I get crick sound coming from the passenger side front. I can also sometimes get this noise when I break heavily to a stop, what do you guys think it could be? I was wondering if it's the interior or if its something more like a suspension, bushes or ball joint issue. I know you can't diagnose it for me but I just wondered if you could give me any clues.

Thanks in advance guys!

brake pads moving ?

lower suspension ?

Suspension should be fine, out of you suggestions I am leaning towards the pads shifting, purely because the discs and pads are low now and due to be replaced very soon. I've bought the discs and pads and am having them replaced along with my 70K service and my cambelt being changed.

I hadn't thought about the pads shifting but now you mention it it makes sense, hopefully that will be the problem. I will report back once I have had the work done in a couple of weeks and let you know if this sorted the issue.

Thanks :winky:

it can prob be sorted by just greasing the ends of the pad backing plate, which is a 30 min job max.......

might be an odd suggestion. But is there anything loose in your glove box moving around?

Thanks for all your help guys, as I mentioned I'm taking my car in and having new break discs and pads, along with my service and cambelt so I'm gonna get them to have a little look while they are there. Hopefully it is just the breaks but it wouldn't really account for the crick happening during cornering without breaking. I still feel that it might be bushes or balljoint related.

I don't think it's anything in my glove box at all. So I will post back in a week or so once all the work is done and then we'll see if there is any change.

Thanks
