    92 Maxima clicking noise

    I have bought this car used with 150,000 miles on it. Everything seemed to
    be fine with the car until one day I started to hear a loud click noise
    upon and after releasing the brakes. This noise is coming from somewhere
    under the car and I have brought the car to a few mechanics who can't seem
    to find whats wrong. There is also a rattling noise when I drive on rough
    roads. When I am driving there is no noise or clicking at all, its just
    when i brake and release the pedal then I hear the noise. If someone has
    any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    I have had the clicking sound, very light, only heard near vertical walls
    that echo the sound and the windows open. I also have a scraping sound at
    low speeds. From what I have been able to determine, this noise happens on
    my car as caused by the protective brake shield rubbing on the rotors.

    I tried bending the shield away from the rotors slightly and the noise went
    away for a while.

    Also, a loud clicking noise when turning corners can be a problem with the
    drive train apparently.

    That is all I know.

    Thanx for the advice, but I was told that my control bushing was the
    problem, I don't know if this might be the actual problem. Right now its
    the only thing i have to go on.

    if your not sure specifically that its the control bushing, you might
    investigate the cv joints located behind your brake drums, if the car
    clicks when you turn the wheel one of your cv joints in the front is worn,
    and is leaking brake fluid, cause your front brakes to squeak, if you only
    hear the clicking when you go over bumps, or when you brake and it makes
    your brakes scream, then its the back cv joints, on a third generation
    maxima im almost positive that you have cv pumps for every joint on the
    back tires, 1 joints per rotar, 1 rotar per wheel, its not a difficult
    situation to over come, as long as you own the rebuild book for your
    maxima, and know how to take off your brake drum, take off your tire, and
    your brake pad, and your brake drum and clip, and you will see a metal rod
    with what looks like a rubber plunger on it, pull on it a little and look
    between the creases and if it has cracks in it, or looks like it might
    have a hole replace it immediatly or it could cost you your axel, tire,
    rotar, brake pads, brake dumb, make sure you grease the bearings, anytime
    you do anything beyond the brake drum, or you turn the risk, of blowing
    your rotar, brake drum, and tire off on the expressway, which will leave
    you with a horribly disfigured axel
