Knocking

by Robs-se » Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:44 pm

As well as my vibrating wheels when i brake (new discs on order) i am now getting a knocking when braking from motorway speeds. Sounds and feels like drivers side, drop ARB is new as is the wishbone and other stuff under there was checked out. Any more ideas will be welcome.

have grooved 283mm on there at the moment and waiting another set to arrive, also have Billet 4 4 pot calipers on it. Replacing the discs to see if this cures the vibration on braking. There has always been a very slight shake from the steering wheel on braking but not like its doing now though

They will be coming off when i change the discs. Will certainly make sure they are tight. Dont fancy being deported for loose ones
