I have an 80 ZX 2+2, and the other day it started making a clicking, metal to metal sounding noise coming from the left rear wheel. It is sometimes intermittent, and only starts after I apply the brakes a good first time. And when I do apply brakes, the noise is subdued quite a bit, but can still faintly hear it. Anyone have any thoughts at all? Appreciate it.

oh yeah

This was the most annoying thing in my life, and it stumped me. I greased all the shafts, thought then it was my wheelbearings, and eventually my freind, a mechanic tore my wheel off, pulled the caliper, took the 2 little spring clips and bent them open a bit more with a pair of needle noze pliars, and re installed everything. Problem solved.
