jonsharland Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 My brothers car is getting a strange noise under breaking from what he things is the rear. This happens when he releases the break pedal. When we do the same thing when stationary we get no noise it only seems to happen at speed. Any Ideas ? Thanks Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 What sort of noise? Does it alter with speed? Checked the BRAKE pads for wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Jon, what type of brake? If it's drums it can be the return springs (but you'd hear that when stationary. I'm a bit confused as you say it happens at speed and when he releases pedal. Are you saying it only happens at speed after braking (ie when taking foot off pedal) Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Reg: B16BDR, Mem No 2166, the full story here You and your seven to The French Blatting Company Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsharland Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sorry should have been more clear... he has Disk brakes. Car has only done 3K miles this year from new. It only happens at speed after braking ie when taking foot off pedal. When we tested it when he was stationary there was no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsharland Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Yes we are talking about a seven here.. It sounds like a clonk - thought it could be the A frame bushes but does not seem to do it under acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Quite difficult to come up with a diagnosis with so little information. We're looking at a clonk when coming off the brakes when moving but not stationary, possibly but not definately from the rear? Clonking could be A frame bushes, though you'd get that under acceleration to, same with diff clonk. Assume you've checked the pads, and that calipers are secure? Have you tried jacking the car up and having a look underneath / checking everything for play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 It could be radius arm bushes, or the de-dion. The clonk could be the tube hitting the diff if something is moving due to a bush having gone ot a fracture. The tube runs very close to the diff and the two will touch if something goes out of spec. I would give it a thorough visual check over. Edited by - Graham Perry on 5 Jan 2006 18:02:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
