got a bang sound help
« on: 16 September 2010, 21:01 »
right been spending loads on my car and got new lower arms and fitted powerflex bushes into them and ever since i get a bang when i brake, check all engine mounts and nothing wrong but i change the dog bone mount to power flex and now the car vibrates but i just think thats to do with the powerflex dog bone mount.

the thing i want to no is where and what could this be banging( on the left or middle of the car)
plus is it normally for the vibrate?

are the pads tight against the disc? could be a sticky caliper, but then again it could be loads of thing, have you inspected the brakes recently?

Mine used to do it. So replaced discs and pads up front and it sorted the problem. Check the pads..
