i own an 02 Mitsubishi Lancer.

whenever i slightly hit the brake, i hear a clicking and grinding noise...i took it to the Midas and said something about rotor and i took it to other local dealer and said something about the spring inside the brake.

what may cause the car to make that clicking and grinding noise?

 

Does it vibrate?

 

grinding? you can mostly hear grinding when youre out of brake pads... and if youwere driving it like that for a while you could have possibly scratched the rotor

 

Thats what im trying ti find out

 

but it only vibrates if its like warped or bent, ive been there done that, scratched the hell of some rotors, and they didnt vibrate, god, you should have seen them, they had two paralel lines engraved in them, haha it was so awesome, i miss the ol days when i didnt care about cars...

 

i took it to Midas and they said it's 60% good.
so it must be the rotor?
they said something inside the brake's spring is leaking...but i took it to diff. mechanic and they didn't say anything about leaking.
so the grinding and clicking noise is cuz of the rotor?

 

i have the same problem the clicking noise some people told me it might be the rotors to so.

yes it can be the rotor. if someobody wares down the pads on their car to the point of metal on metal for a long time it will damage your rotors, whether it son the front or rear but if you don't replace the scratched up rotors you can still hear some noise and it can feel like grinding. oem replacement rotors aret to expensive at all... prolly 25-35 bucks each.
