Most liked posts in thread: Metal Clanky Noise When Brake

Tell us more about your car - model, miles, mods, type of pads & rotors, how long since last brake job (if ever).

Any idea where it sounds like the noise is coming from? Front? Rear? Left? Right?

Is it a "tic" sound, or a real genuine "clank" (like hitting a piece of metal with a hammer)?

 

Since this is the internet and uninformed opinions are encouraged, I'll take a worn rear swaybar bushing. Here's to hoping the OP follows up with more info. =)

 

Is this the same noise you spoke about on your 01-07-2010 post concerning the powerflex bushing install?

If so I would start again with the suggestions on that post -- ie double check all -- it is so easy to overlook one little bolt or nut. Jack it up, inspect visually and shake - pull - twist on everything possible. Look for metal to metal contact points.

 

Could just be a brake pad shifting in the caliper...

 

The caliper bushings might be sticking to too. When they "release" it might cause that clunk too.

 

I like this idea the best.

 

Aw shucks.
