Click/Knock when braking...

[DeeBe]

As in the title, when I brake in the car, I sometimes (90% of the time) get a slight click/knock from the passenger side front area. It's quite quiet, but noticable to me. I have had the FARB bushes done, and this has not cured it.

Any info would be great!

Thanks, David.

Maybe it could be your anti roll bar, link bars(drop links) They join the arb to the suspension strut. That noise though is genarally felt when going over potholes or driving down from a bump.

I thought that, so had it on the ramps earlier, but nothing. No noises on speed humps or anything. I have a slight clink off my exhaust when I start it up, so I'm wondering if it could be that?

The centre mount on the exhaust would be worth checking, but it could be the wishbone bushes if you notice the noise under braking.

It is only under braking. It's not a cause for major concern, but I am driving to Sheffield on Saturday, so I'm trying to alleviate any of tese little fears I do have! I'll have the wishbones checked. Cheers pd.

I'd check the exhaust centre and front mounts, and the radiator mounts, first. It's not typical of either of them, but it's cheap and easy checks.

I've a feeling the most likely thing is a brake pad not set dead right.

Perfectly right, on both accounts! A brake pad wasn't fitted correctly (3-pin bracket was mis-shapen) and exhaust centre mount had snapped! Both fixed earlier today, and it feels champion now!

Thanks for all your help peoples!!!
