carl0s Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Makes you wonder what it is, can't think of anything on the brakes that would case this. I'l see how it goes. Just discovered that I have major vertical play in the lower control arm balljoint. Might be worth you checking also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clonking noise when slowing down hasn't come back since it went away almost 2 months ago after replacing the upper left contol arm and the stabiliser bar links. It now clonks a bit when I reverse slowly out of a parking bay then stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the pad-moving click, but this is a clonk, and sounds like the disc knocking against the wheel studs but I can't see why this would occur. The disc does definately have holes which are oversized for the studs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
