Default clicking and scraping noises

coming from front right wheel! driving me crazy... it clicks loudly during turns and makes loud metal scratching noises while braking... well also during driving but much louder during breaking. What am I looking at here?... I'm guessing something's up w/ the axle joints (clicking) but not sure about the scratching....

check your CV-boots for rippage. calipers could be dying as well.

what are the signs of "worn" calipers... how would they get worn anyways? They dont rub against anything... not arguing, just wondering. Thanks~

changing the caliper is easy but you need to bleed your system afterwards.

the caliper bracket bolts are pretty tough to break loose. prepare for some busted knuckles. i replaced both calipers in under one hour.
