donking noise when breaking ??

[te17@novasgonemad]

right i have me car back, took it out for a test drive and when i brake i get like a donking sound some times when i press the pedal, other times a few seconds after i have started pressing the pedal ie,, whilst braking still, sometimes when i brake hard other times soft but i havent got a clue any ideas (bearing in mind that vauxhall had me 2ltr calipers off me hubs for the past week whilst playing with the engine

good description lol @ donking

mine was doing this and it ended up being a combination of warn bushes and caliper bolts moving (not tight enough)

This might sound stupid, but you havent got something sliding around under your chair or in your boot have you? when you break its sliding forward and hitting part of the car?

lol, never rule out the obvious.

sounds like a knackered cv joint. do you get a similar 'donk' if you floor it after the initial donk?

could be inner or outer, depending where the noise is coming from.

hiya


would call the cv more of a rattley click than a donk :D


also more likely to maifest iteself on turns first of all...

I have that donk noise, had the caliper off yeasterday to fit me newer shiny painted up and good lookin hubs.

The noise on mine is a worn slide, so the caliper goes donk on the slide and it does sound like loose bolts, deceiving! Grab the caliper and wiggle fwd bckwd.

for an outer cv maybe, but inner cvs go like this, and it is a donk. happens on many fwd drive cars with pop-in shafts

So that's what explains my Clattley noise !
