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

sway bar or a arm bushes.

Loose brake caliper.
Caliper slider pin seized.
Drive shaft CV joint.

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.
