metal snapping sound on front end when braking... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Suspension noise. Release the brakes just before the speed bump.

The pedal feel is fine, no vibrations, I checked my calipers, brake pads and everything looks fine and properly adjusted, I want to clarify that my Yaris doesn't have ABS.
I’m almost sure that the noise is coming from the control arms, the right side make more noise than left one. I get a squeaky nose when I shift from 1st to 2nd when the car swivel a little bit, when going over some speed bumps, when making a U turn I also hear the squeak but harder and lastly when braking hard the noise is more like something moving from its base and creates vibration on the floor of the car I noticed the last mentioned few days ago.

I also want to mention that I had a squeaky noise when that car was brand new with about 1000 miles, I took it to the dealer the checked everything and they couldn’t find anything, then after some time I didn’t hear it anymore until know that that my car has 55.000 miles, there’s got to be something worn somewhere…

I had a similar problem with my last car, a 1998 Toyota Camry. I just had my brakes and rotors replaced, and every morning when I started the car the first stop I would make, there was a loud clicking noise at the front of my car. I took it back to the dealership and they drove it around, but because I had already driven it, that clicking noise wasn't apparent. It really didn't do anything to the car, but it was getting older and only lasted another three years, but I really wish I knew what was wrong with it.

I took the yaris yesterday to the dealer and I was able to duplicate the noise several times, so finally they believed me! The tech re-torque el the bolts on the sub-frame and looks like the problem is resolved I don't hear anything anymore, I will keep paying attention to see if the noise is completely gone...

I had this exact same problem with my car. I have a clunk in the brakes, mostly when I have changed direction (ie: reverse to first) and then braked or stopping at some speed (it's not the ABS kicking in as the pedal isn't shuddering). At my last service I asked the dealer about it, and the mechanic said that it was the disk adjusting or something along those lines. I'm going to ask about it again in a fortnight when I go back to see whether I get a different answer..

Try getting everything tight on your suspension and specially the sub-frame; I have been paying attention and testing the car since Saturday and so far so good!!!

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone found out a good solid reason why brakes are doing this? My 2007 sedan has been doing it since mile 30,000. What is it?
