I am getting a very slight knocking noise when i brake, this is not when i brake hard or coming down from say 30mph but this is when i am in traffic and i use the brake lightly i can feel a kock and hear something very slightly when i depress the peddle ?

 

I would of thought that would be one of the bushes or something what do you guys think?

I had something similar to this when i 1st got my Supe after checking pads, bushes etc I found after a Re-torqueing of the front subframe bolts the noise dissappeared.

 

Re-torquing/tightening of the subframe bolts is part of the service schedule i do believe. Worth a try and doesn't cost anything, not all the subframe bolts are the same torque and a couple a pretty tight as well.

 

Can't remember what torque was what but a service manual would have pic showing which bolts require what torque and don't snap any i'm sure someones done that on this forum before!
