Thudding noise

[PORT3R]

I recently starting hearing this strange thudding noise when I take my foot off accelerate at around 40-70km. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the brake pads or the brake discs. I stuck my head out the window also, and it sounded as if the brake pads were *clicking* against the disc... but I'm kind of unsure. I'm going to take it down to a mechanic to get him to check it out, but I thought I would post it here to see what you guys think it could be.

Cheers, Dave.

so you hear the sound only when coasting and not braking?

[davway]

Sway bar link pin bushes - have a look at them.

[PORT3R]

Only when I'm coasting at around fairly slowly.

I went down to my mechanic today, but was unable to get it on a hoist. He said the brakes are fine, so I'm going down later to check the front axle and bushes. Hopefully it's the bushes...

i had the same thing mate, all sorts of ***ed up noises and clunking and rubbing and shit, the sway bar link pin bushes were rooted. went down to bursons in morrabbin $66 for a set of heavy duty link pins and bushes, fitted it myself in 30 minutes.

If not that, the clunk might be the diff when you take your foot off the pedal all of a sudden

You will probably find it is coming from the diff.

[PORT3R]

It's not specifically when I take my foot off the pedal, it's just I can't hear it over the exhaust when I have my foot down

I'm pretty sure it's the bushes from the car being low, she goes up on a hoist this arvo.
I'll post the damage/costs to fix it.

Hahahahahaha

My wheels were scrubbing on my inner guard and there was a rock stuck inbetween the tires tread, thus making a "clicking" noise against the plastic.

Thank god I'm getting smaller wheels

il straight swap u for my rims

[PORT3R]

Hahahahah, dream on ya shifty bugger

[PORT3R]

Kind of sanded and held back parts of the guard (because I didn't want to fully remove it) in the meantime until I get smaller rims. So far no scrubbing noise

What paint did you use to paint the disks?
Did you get paint on the brake surface?

Sounds like the brakes sticking?

[PORT3R]

Nah it's not the paint. It was doing it before I painted them. I resolved it anyway

HAHAH i love it

i had the same problem.. but only when i turned ... right

i hit a rabbit ( well what looked like a rabbit ) and it busted the plastic in the left side... and it only rubbed when i turned sharp to the right ... it had my ****ed what it could be ... then i found it when i was washing the car haha oh well
