Front End Noise - During Braking

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If the noise occurs while braking AND during tip-in or tip-out, this is not typically a steering gear related noise.
Noises when braking involve parts which move during braking.
