Clicking Noise from passenger side...

I have an S1 elise and there is a clicking noise coming from the passenger side when driving at anything over 10mph. However when the brake is applied the noise disappears. I think its a brake or suspension issue (still original set-up) but could really do without putting new suspension if possible!...

S1 Strange Rattling Noise from front passenger side?

Hi all,

My 2000 S1, 12k miles has developed a clicking/rattling noise from the front passenger side.

Is this the suspension gone? Is it easily fixed? Is it safe to drive?

Any thoughts would be appreciated :D

Cheers.
