Default Need help on this one guys!!!

Ok

Car: 323 1.6 standard, 4cly, no power steering,

Back drop on the problem that this might be coming from. Ok about a year ago, 4/12/05 I got in my first accident, right front tire feel into a sewar drain, really screwed up my stearing gear box, I mean bad. My 10 and 2 wher at 12 and 6 if you know what I mean.

Any way so I am having problems now when I am about a little more than I want to say about 1/2 threw breaking that I can hear a kind of pop, or it sounds like to tick, tick. to two pieces of metal rubing to gether. but it gets pretty loud and I can really feel it. but when I am almost stop it stops and the car breaks like normal.

Also at higher speeds like 45-60 and up I get a shuddering in the stearing and the dash. I have heard that with this car thats kind of normal. It might also be because I might be missing a few screws in the dash. Or it could just be that my motor mounts are a little worn.

Any way what I am saying is I can't think that this problem on the right front could be just my breaks being worn. because I just replaced them to to long ago. say about two months. I also had my rotors turned also. So could it be my caliper? my be its hitting the wheel? I mean I think just something is off center or something like that.

I mean every thing was fixed after the accident. Also had it allined and every thing like that. but I mean maybe it could be my breaks, because this diddn't happen so much when I put the new pads on only after they got worn a bit.

I am just trying to get some ideas and try to figure out what to do/look for. I mean I have taken off the wheel and looked at it all but couldn't see any thing.

so any help would be great.

rotors are easier to warp after being machined(thinner=less area for heat to disapate)have them checked or replaced
also have the suspension recheaked ball joints tierod ends wheel bearings control arm bushings
also i have seen the metal shims between the brake pads and spindle wearout/missing(allows the pad to move) or rub on the rotor
