    So mine was REALLY ticking pretty loudly from 35 mph all the way to stop, very annoying as my last Gen 3 Prius only did it while turning and less than 10 mph. Recently installed new struts and a Prius Offroad 1.5'' lift kit and low and Behold, the brake/Axle regen ticking/clicking is GONE instantly. Not sure it has to do with the slightly different angle on the axle now, or? But I'll take it (minus a better ride quality with the old factory blown out suspension of course but I needed new tires anyway).

    I did notice that nearly all LOWERED prius from all gen's and SOME stock ones with original and OLD worn out suspension did this clicking in a straight line AND turning..if anyone has any evidence or experiences with this being the case as well for them, please share. Be interesting to find out if it stopped on your vehicle as well for research purposes.
