The internet can't help here. So far all I've gathered is there is a "clicking" sound sometimes. Maybe the dashboard is clicking when the sun hits it. Maybe this, maybe that. Or quite possibly this or that. Give up asking here and take it to somebody who can listen to it. What does your wife say about it? She might know. Every time my wife says "something's wrong with the car" I tell her she's crazy. Then a short time later I have to fix what was wrong. Still haven't figured that out. --Vic |

Ok, take the car in to a mechanic and have him change the entire front end. Cost you a couple of thousand, problably won't eliminate the sound, will take at least a week without the car, but at least you won't have spend 15 minutes removing the hubcaps and listening if the sound is gone. |

On my car I've found Sil-Glyde to work the best for the pins, BUT it depends on the cleanliness of the boot grooves, and the tightness of the boots in those grooves. The rubber boots do expand with age, making them fit more loosely, allowing water in. -- Tegger |

The "evidence" is that the sound also happens when the car is not moving but idling, as I mentioned in another post here.

I'm currently using a purple colored Permatex product (brush in cap style) that may actually be relabelled Ceramlub. Its visible properties and performance seem OK but it's too early to tell at this time. If you are in NY, then you just have to suffer the consequences of nasty weather and salt (if used). I would suggest on caliper bores that aren't corroded, you don't brush them or their pins, but clean and dry with solvent/swab/whatever. There's no reason to abraid the corrosion resistant coating if it is still working. On corroded parts you have to wire brush or replace. The rubber components are usually the culprit when a pin gets corroded. If you replace them with the typical aftermarket boot kit you will probably be in for more of the same as they are often thin, distorted junk compared to OE. They barely hold up here in mostly decent weather, I can't imagine crappy boots standing a chance in the N.E. |

It isn't quite the lubricant that silicone/ceramic products are and it doesn't seal out, shed or adhere in moisture as well. |
