6 months of 200 joy!

[Tommie 10]

Hi all, well had my 200 for 6 months now and loving every minute I spend with it.
Coming from a Mazda 3 Mps 2.3 turbo the Rs 200 is no let down in anyway.
But just over the last few weeks when I reverse in the drive, I've been hearing a clink/clunk sound coming from o/s/f wheel area. Then over the last couple of days it makes it from stand still to pulling away.
So wondering if some nice person could please give me a idea of what it may be.
I think it's the brake? But I'm no expert.

Pos Lower ball joint had that on mine

Is there any squeaking when tuning the wheel at a standstill?

No squeaking but the wheels are 1/4 turn when reversing in drive, so maybe the ball joint?
I was thinking the brake pads moving. It's quite a loud click or clunk.
The car is under warranty so think I better book it in. Cheers chaps.

Mine did this and it turned out to be pads sticking, took the wheels / pads out, cleaned all the grime out and refit. Fixed the problem but I now need new discs+pads sooner than expected. :glare:
