1990, 302 Bronco
I was wondering if anyone can help me I am new to this site. When i drive my bronco on the left side of the driver side it makes a noise like a click click like something hitting on something but when i put me brake it stops can anyone help. Also is it better to get the k&n air intake or just the k&n filter the one that connects to both tubes of the orginal bronco i hope you can understand me.

Did you check the hitter on the door?, it´s the pin that holds the door tight shut (the one the lock grabs), it´s wrapped by a plastic shell, if the plastic breaks, only the metal part holds the door closed, and it will begin to make that noise, check that.

First off welcome to FTE and the Big Bronco Forum.
What part of the truck does the noise seem to be originating from? There are a LOT of things on that side of the truck that COULD be the problem. The striker post is just one of them.
The drop-in filter is by far the better choice. The aftermarket intake kits often draw more air in from UNDER the hood that from outside which is WORSE for your intake air temps than it was with the OEM intake plumbing. Check www.performanceunlimited.com They have an actual performance comparison posted that clearly shows the drop-in being the better choice. Its cheaper and it doesn't pull in hot under-hood air.
For those that will argue about the divider and such that supposedly isolates the replacement intake plumbing from the under-hood temps. Please don't bother. A little plastic and rubber isn't going to insulate against engine temps well enough to make a difference. If you really want to see an improvement, drop the K&N replacement filter in and then insulate the OEM airbox and intake plumbing against excess heat.

thanks for the info
Well the noise is coming from the bottom of the bronco near the left tire. It started when i came back from the beach when i had to use the 4*4 to get out of the sand. Since then it just started when i drive like 25-40 it makes the noise then when i go faster is stops.

It sounds to me that it is just your brake pads clicking and rattling against the rotor. If your rotors are just slightly warped it can do it. There is a clip that goes behind the pad that is supposed to help that problem. Mine does it sometimes, it is just more irritating than a problem.
