    I noticed a faint tick tick sound when braked are applied. Initially I thought it might be a rock or stone perhaps stuck in the brakes. But im not sure. Any ideas?

    EDIT. looks like it could be the LF axel issue. Fml.

    SM-N960U1 ?

    Search my thread on this. Part redesigned, covered under power train warranty terms. Had mine replaced free two weeks ago.
