He everyone. Please help. I have 2019 ux250h with 59k miles on it. For last 2 years I always change oil, filters, tires rotations never have any issues. Completed alignment once and still on original tires.
My problem is when I apply brake from any speed around 45mph till full stop driver front wheel make a clicking noice. Like tik-tik-tik. I check all brakes, wheels, axle outer and inner and nuts. But if on any speed if I switch to neutral and apply brakes no noice what so ever. Any advice fox.

Hard to diagnose over the internet. Can you post a video?

Could be anything from a rock in the dust shield/rotor area or an axle that is drying up. It sort of sounds like a dry axle/cv joint. But again seeing a video would help.

Any change when you brake hard vs. brake lightly?

Had a similar noise on my CT. Click click click under light braking next to a wall. Heard priuses do it too. removed outer CV boot, repacked with grease, reclamped, noise went away. Verifiable and repeatable in both situations. confirmed fix.

Not sure if it's an axle click - like E46CT said, hard to diagnose without a video of sorts.
Only mentioning the axle click as it is a prevalent 'issue' on the s2000 forums and I remember doing that with mine early on and it fixed said issue.

Please see attachments.
On first video from 34mph I apply brake and click click
on second video at slow speed

Curious question, why would you switch the car to neutral?

I listened to the video, the 'click' is more prevalent in the 0:04 mark in the '59' video.

Terron

I switch to neutral to release pressure from transmission and axles. Also check if that related to brakes .

Gotcha, I only ask due to reading somewhere that on hybrids it's not recommended to put the car in neutral (other than when shifting to Park, Reverse, etc.) and that leaving it in neutral may drain the hybrid battery... or something like that.

So guys any idea?
When last time I’m rotate tires I check all suspension, brakes, axles on this wheel and bearing as well, nut on axle but no luck. Still clock sound

Any luck figuring out the issue? I have this exact same noise on my 2019 UX as well...

Terron

Hey everyone,I hope you guys well!

I wanted to touch base regarding an my issue I've been experiencing with my car. Currently, it has around 120,000 miles on it. There's a persistent noise coming from the front driver's side. It sounds like it could be related to the drive axle, but despite thorough checks, I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause.

Even after every oil changes and thorough shaking of the car to identify the source, the noise persists. It's not getting louder, but it's definitely there.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It’s not recommended as you’ve disengaged the hybrid regenerative system. No more hybrid battery charging.

I have a UX 250h AWD (2021) and I am having the same problem. My car is 3 years old and this noise started a few months ago.
This noise mainly occurs in the following two situations:

1. When I apply the brakes lightly to bring the car to a stop on level ground, this noise makes a few times before the car comes to a complete stop. but sometimes there is no noise.
2. When I go down a very gentle slope and lightly apply the brakes to slow down the car, It makes this noise and if I don't change the pressure I apply to the brakes it will continue to make this noise.

I visited the service center twice with this problem. The first time, they thoroughly cleaned the brake pads and discs, and the second time, they tightened the drive shaft and replaced the brake pads, but there was no change in the noise. The noise in my car is almost identical to the noise in video 7460 posted by the author of this article.

If anyone is experiencing this issue or has solved it, please share the information.

remove the wheel.

wire brush all contact points, wheel, barrel etc...

reinstall wheel.

torque lug screws.

I also confirmed that my car does not make this noise when the gear is shifted to N. If anyone has solved this problem or has any related information,
I would appreciate it if you could share it.

And while Googling, I came across information that the cause of this problem may be the constant velocity joint (CV Axle/Boot).
Please comment on this information.
