yes had the same clicking sound on a 2017 ZL1 only at low speed and at turns, drove me up the wall. Was subtle and not even that loud... sold the car after a while

What a pain in the *** it was. In my case it was the rotors that had to be replaced..........in the end end after multiple visits all rotors were replaced.

so you think it could be the brake rotors?

Ive got essex AP rotors on my car, maybe I need to remove them and copper paste on contact places?

Has anyone tried to clean the contact patches of the wheel and rotor and grease it?

I had this clicking noise coming from my right front wheel. Took it to the dealer and they removed the wheel, removed the inner plastic housing and did all stuff to it.
Clicking sound still present. I then instructed them to remove the wheel and clean it well. Even if there was no residue to be seen. I then told them to apply an even
paste to the wheels before locking them back. It is important to not over grease the wheels. You will see there is around 2 cm of lip and that has to be completely covered
with an even paste. Once they did that the noise was gone. You can have them to swap the wheels while they are at it to make sure it is not the wheels. Not saying this is
the cure but next time they are working on it you can give this a shot.

Found out my clicking noise was due to a mod I did to make the car sound louder. Removed the following mod and now the clicking noise is gone.

Just throwing this out there and thinking of possibilities. Maybe the brake pads? Something in them like a small rock. Idk. Try pressing the brakes lightly when driving and see if the noise gets louder or maybe goes away?

Is the noise present when your car slowly creeps forward or is it on tight turns?
