Default Clicking Sound as I Begin to Brake.?.?.?

As I start to brake, especially in the quiet night-time cruzing, I hear this clik-clik-clik sound that eventually stops when the z's completing stopped (2003 touring edition).

But, it cliks everytime I begin to brake. Dude, it's more annoying than a girl fishing for attention, but that I can put up with.

Any advice on eliminating this noise?

There's a TSB out for this. It's bolts in the axle that they replace....talk to your dealer...

TSB specifically states clicking when starting to accelerate from a stop.

I have this and called my dealer yesterday in hopes of getting the TSB done this week. They said those bolts have been on backorder for like 3 months and there's a long waiting list of people to get it done.

Jesus, is "TSB" the same thing as a "recall"?

No. A Service Bulletin is an addendum to the service manual telling the technician how to fix something.

A recall is coordinated with NHTSB to address a significant safety concern.
