I was wondering if anyone had this problem or know if its normal that lets say you are at a stop light then you don't gun or floor the gas pedal, but just tap the gas pedal quick when its green then you hear a little click sound like some old cars that can't climb a high hill. It only clicks once though not like old cars that can't climb a hill many clicks. Hope this makes sence. I was wondering if this was normal or has anyone have the same prob and know what it is? Thanks to all in advance.

This is probably coming from either your front brake pads or possibly your driveshaf slip yoke. Since you think it's coming from the front, it's probably the brake thing.

Do a search for more info but basically.............Your front brake pads fit into slots on your disk brake calipers. There is some room for movement in there, and when you hit the brakes, the pads ride up against the top of this space. Once you remove your foot from the brake, or the disk starts moving again, and they drop back down, hence the click. This is fairly common and may be fixed by adding some brake pad lube, or customizing another shim to go in behind the one already in there. I don't recommend the latter, although I have seen it done on other vehicles.

If it's more of a thunk, and coming from the mid to rear, it may be the the driveshaft slip yoke, the problem is sort of similar. Just lube the joints to fix. Have someone else drive while you climb around and figure out where it's coming from.

These issue have been addressed multiple times on the board. Just do a search for click, thunk, bump, clank, etc. I am basically living with it until I do my brakes in a couple thousand miles.
