Hey all,
I've got a new noise in my car and was hoping for a diagnosis..
It's a knocking sound. Happens under braking, from about 35km/h to a complete stop. Clutch is fully depressed, sound appears to come from the rear. A typical scenario would be braking at a round about (so steering wheel turned slightly) and it will knock once, maybe twice per occurrence.
Any ideas would be helpful cheers

Re: Unidentified Knock
Brake clips.
If they have gone or very worn (out of tension) then the pads rock forward under brakes in the calliper slot and make a loud click or clunk.
