knockin noise wen brakin!?

Postby Ande Man on Sun Mar 14, 2004 5:24 pm

ive recently had my car lowered, only 35mm on 15's. but eva since ive had this done, wen a certain amount of pressure is put on the brake pedal, the pedal knocks and vibrates. Its jus the pedal that knocks and u can only feel it if ur drivin!

Has any1 else found this problem wen lowering? [ERRR] is it and how can it be fixed?

yep.

might as well get new pads at the same time, not much extra cost.

I take it when you lowered the car you took the discs off? cos its always a git to get old discs to re-seat correctly. You have to clean the hub face and inside of the disc with a wire brush or some reasonably fine emery cloth. If this is the cause of ya problem and you have driven it for a while then you may have f**cked the discs by now.
