Ok so ive had my jap Supra for about 7 years now. Money got tight and had the car off the road for over a year. The last 6 months ive refurbed all callipers and put on new discs but for some reason the fronts seem to be binding on after braking for a little while.
ie if its rain and i come to a halt, smoke pours off the front for a few seconds. Although ive always liked my cars and always wanted a supra, my mechanical knowledge is pretty poor. I have checked the pistons move smoothly which they do. Cant think of anything else it could be????
Now the next thing is i seem to be getting a knocking what feels like someone tapping a hammer under my feet. Feels like its definetely front orientated. tends to be worse on rougher roads and when braking and cornering, When full lock 3 point turning it makes a fairly loud cracking noise. Again very frustrating. In my MOT they said one of the lower arms would need changing at some point.Could it be that?? They are so bloody expensive and wouldnt want to change it if that wasnt it!
If it is lower arms does anyone know where i could get some cheapish good second hand ones as just bought shocks all round and with the discs and reseal kits im spent out.
Many thanks
