my malibu is making a clicking/ticking noise when i brake, sounds like its coming fromthe left front side any ideas?? also i brought my car to meineke cause it was sounding like a harley, so they said it was a hard muffler to find and they put on a flowmaster duel exhaust, does this make sense?? and it is still sounding like a harley, a rumblely sound coming from the front,heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!

Does it change sound when move the steering wheel left or right. If it does you have a worn front wheel bearing.

One at a time jack up each front wheel and check for looseness, still think it's wheel bearing.

do you have any idea if my muffler is hard to get? why did they gave me a dual exhaust ? i brought it in because there was a harley sound coming from the front under the engine, they gave me the new muffler and it still sounds like a harley and its getting worse, did i get hosed???

Take it back to Meineke and have them listen to it, tell them the noise is still there. Sounds like they replaced the wrong parts and should not charge you for them, parts or labor.
