Title: "Clunk" noise when braking
Post by: Thud on June 06, 2006, 09:34:47 AM
My 90 cab makes a clunk noise occasioanlly whilst braking. I\'m pretty sure the noise is coming from the front right caliper, I can also feel a light thump through the brake pedal when I hear the noise. I have taken a look at the caliper and cannot see anything visibly wrong. The braking power does not feel reduced before or after the clunk.

Any idea what could be causing this?

you checked the wheel bearings ??

the FC has adjustable ones on the front and they have a tendancy to come loose
