Whats brakes?
Pads not locating correct in the carrier?
Loose caliper/carrier bolts?

You can normally aggrevate them by reversing then braking then forward and braking and so on. Noticeable when you doing your 20 point turns trying to get into a car park at ASDA.

Normal or something that needs looked at,just wierd it doesn't do it all the time.

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

well its normal really.

try reversing, brake, forward brake,.....and see if it makes the noise.....

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

Ok will do,then what ?

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

if it clunks its probably the pads moving up and down in the caliper....

not much you can do apart from copper grease the pad edges....

Where is the clunk from or feel/sound like its from ? Front / rear ?

Metallic, tinny, solid dull thud etc - throw us a clue,as it could be any mounting (gearbox/engine etc) or bush / tca / bearing.

Does it do it on braking whilst turning or only on straights etc ??

Pad rattle can be sorted on any car by fitting a residual valve if it's that

Copper greasing can help dampen noise (squeal) but generally not help with rattle.

on my escort
loud clunk when braking (only 1st time tho) 2nd time a lot quieter .. now the weather has got warmer, doesnt do it at all....

Hi tony,it's a metallic dull thud only when braking on straights m8.

Sounds like a bush with lateral movement somewhere then.

Get under with a bar and start poking around !!

Ryan

i've got a dull thud that comes above half a second after letting off the throttle at low speeds, pretty sure its coming from around the rear diff area, any idea on what it could be, and what causing it?

That my friend is Backlash - the free movement between the crown wheel and pinion being taken up once the load is released and gives a little thud.

NUTS RuS

Stationary it could be pre load on the diff ? If moving it could be beam mounts ?

Dan

I had a similar clunk Kev just when turning to the rights slowly, like round a tight corner or a small roundabout or something, turned out it was the exhaust knocking

Ryan

gracey, is this normal? or does it mean the the diff needs looking at pps:

i thought it was that, but not a clue what causes it and why its suddenly started happening, maybe its always been there but never noticed it.

Ryan i have the same thump and sometimes when im changing gears

Kev, check the anti roll bar bolts. My captive nut has come lose on the anti roll bar & mine clunks braking & sometimes turning the wheel. Get it up in the air & see if any of the bolts are spinning.

Scrap the heap Kev
