    Alright so pretty much everytime I apply the brakes I hear a single, rather loud "click" coming from underneath the car, almost as if something isn't aligning right. If I push down on the rear suspension after I turn the car off I hear a "clunking" sound on the first couples pushes, then it stops. Rotors were replaced last Sunday, but this was happening long before that. I would say it started doing this about 1.5-2k ago.

    Any ideas?

    Car is a '93 BMW 325i

    Thanks,
    Paul

      It could be a number of things. You would be better off bringing it to a shop you trust and have it diagnosed. I've seen anything from brakes to chassis/suspension cause noises like your asking about. There's just WAAYYY too many options to pinpoint it over the net.

          I didn't notice any noises when I test drove your car after the rotors....this might be more suspension related. I would have to look at it at work. Chris's shop would probably be easier/cheaper for you to have them check out the noise rather than bringing it to me at the dealership. Let me know what you find/figure out.

            What would some symptoms be of worn caliper bushings? Almost positive the noise isn't suspension related.

              a click is common. They didn't seam to be worn when we did the brakes both times. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to replace them. Should be pretty cheap. Try and get ahold of them and we can try and do that first.
