SKI Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I've just had my discs replaced all round by a friend who does my servicing. I've noticed that when the window is down I can hear quite loudly, the callipers or pads contacting the discs at the front (makes a loud clunking), further to this a strange rhythmical grinding noise under deceleration can be heard (sometimes when I’m not even braking). The brakes seem to get very hot, infact the body above the wheels was hot when I returned from a drive yesterday, at first I thought this was just engine heat but I’ve never noticed it before. Any suggestions, or advice to check for. I would’ve taken it back for him to check but he went on holiday the day after changing my brakes for me, Ahhhh.

Digsy Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Sounds like the discs are on wonky to me. Did your servicing guy check the runout on the dics after he put them on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKI Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 If I take the wheel of myself is it possible to determine if the discs are wonkey without removing the callipers. At least it would be a start!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKI Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 Would that also cause the audible clunking noise when the brakes are applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 The clunking will be the retaining clips that he didnt put back in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it would be a start!? I think so. You 'll need a dial test indicator (DTI) and a magnetic base. There'll be instructions floating around on here somewhere. Can someone post up the page from the service manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
