Default click click.... help plz

Hi,

I have recently installed my mg rotors powdercoated calipers and ss brakelines. I have had them on for a few weeks now. I have noticed a clicking noise (think from the rear wheels) on both sides when I turn the wheels in a corner. It's a noticeably loud clicking noise. At first i thought it may be a lug not properly seated but that is not the case. I have not taken the wheel off the car yet to have a look to see if somethings loose but i doubt it if im hearing the same noise on both sides only when i corner. Any ideas?

ps. It seems to get worse as I drive the car for longer periods of time. I even heard the clicking noise as I slowed down at a few stop lights driving around town yesterday. Mostly happens when i corner though.

What could it be???

thanks for your ideas/input

I could be totally off base but from previous personal experience on another car. I use to get a clicking sound on turns and it was diagnosed as a bad differential. They replaced it and the sound went away.

But, things to check if you don't think it's the diff. Is to make sure that the brake lines aren't hitting something when you are turning.

Its probably the break lines. The metal zipping thru the collar is making the noise.
