kubus1 Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I think its time to sort this out so any suggestions are welcome. When I put the car in reverse and drive for a short distance and then brake, I get a knock from somwhere at the back of the car. Then I drop it in D and drive- its ok, until I have to brake for first time, then I hear the knock again. It will knock only once on braking in Reverse and in Drive. The car handles great and when I try to rock it it stays riggid and there is no funny sounds. I looked at some previos post about suspension but could not identify my problem. Dont even know if its suspension that I should be thinking of. Many thanks in advance, Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hi Cuba, I think it's the brake pads moving. When I got UK brakes fitted mine started doing this, apparently it's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubus1 Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 Thanks Steve, So I was just being paranoid. Oh and now that you said that, it appeared after I had my discs and pads change about 2 months ago. Thanks again. Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubus1 Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 I read about it on the supraforums and the say that its a rear wheel bearing gone. What do you think of that? Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubus1 Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Its not that expensive actaully. I think the bearing is about £70 or so. Its a bugger to get it fitted though. Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 The noise I have is definatly the brakes. It started when I got the UK's fitted and I asked and listened to others. Yours may be different, see if you can meet up with a couple of others in a quiet car park and compare creaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
