HELP PLS! When I apply brakes I hear grinding and clicking noise in center console
Hi all...I really need some help please!
.A little history: I purchased a new to me 99 GS400 (165K) 2 weeks ago and took her to my mechanic to have her checked. They found both motor mounts broken so I had them replaced. When I got her back I noticed this sound like a pump priming when I applied the brakes. I had not heard this before. Took her back on Thursday and asked them about the noise but they said brake master was fine and they did not hear noise. I had them replace the tranny mount that day as well. Drove her home on Thursday and still heard the priming noise. Didn't drive her yesterday but today I was backing out of my drive and heard brakes grinding and a clicking noise in my center console when I hit the brakes? I'm obviously going to call the mechanic on Monday but any thoughts on WTH might be going on? It did not make ANY noises when I brought her in for the motor mounts and the brakes were fine. I am beside myself

Thanks but I am a woman and not mechanically inclined so fixing it myself is not an option. The local Lexus dealerships don't have a great reputation. As I said in my original post...Im obviously going to take her to a mechanic but I'd like the "opinions" from some of the members here.

Thank you...there is a whirring noise but it's loud....this motor made no noises when I brought her in....just a very smooth, soft...almost like a sewing machine, lol! Anyway, I think I may have answered my own question....I think they damaged one of the speed sensors on the transmission or a connection on the abs module when they did the motor mounts. I just noticed I have no speedo either and I had this problem before on my 98 Jimmy after having the tranny serviced. Thanks again

Its quite loud but I might also be a bit paranoid since my car has been a mess with noises and problems that weren't there before I took her to get her "fixed"!
I'm fairly certain at this point that the grinding/groaning is my ABS....
