Default Weird noise coming from brake area ...

I drive an 03 track model Z, and recently the front right tire area has been making this clunk noise. At every full revolution of the tire I hear a weird clunk noise. As I speed up, the frequency of the noise increases. I believe there is a problem with the breaks ... but I'm not sure. When I put my foot on the breaks, the clunking noise stops completely. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I took it to the shop and they couldn't find anything wrong. They inspected the breaks, tires, and clearance, and nothing was visually wrong.

Anybody have this problem before? Anyone have any idea what it could be?

PLEASE HELP ME OUT! thanks

did you guys find out what the issue was....wheel bearing?

my Z makes a loud clunk the first time I pull off from the right front side and goes away thereafter, unless there is a heavy passenger in the car in which case it is more frequent. If anyone knows about this it would be appreciated

I didnt know BREAKS had that many problems!

2 tips for you....

#1. Please dont ever spell brakes that way again

#2. You might need to rebalance the tire. Sometimes the weights can be uneven causing all sorts of noise.

im in the same dilemma, but without the constant clicking.

I recently scraped going over a 1 foot (down)hill towards the entrance of a store.

Now, when I initially tap the brakes, there seems to be a one-time click/"thump" noise. When I hit it again, it goes away. There seems to be no brake fluid leak and no loss of brake performance. The thump is annoying but if anyone knows what Im talking about, please let me know how to solve this problem. Thanks!!!!

I have this problem as well with my passenger rear. I put new pads on it. It was doing it before the pads though. It's weird.
