Near side suspension noise?

Featured Replies

Hi

Seemed to have developed a slightly worrying noise from the near front wheel area. When reversing and applying the brakes for the first time a noise occurs as if something is moving or repositioning. Only happens once when reversing and doesn't seem to happen when moving forward again. 

Would like to get this investigated as the warranty runs out in a month.

Any ideas

Tony

Hello Tony,

Sorry to hear of your issue, and I’m not sure what investigation work you have carried out to date to try to eliminate some of the numerous possible causes. Perhaps you could let us know. 
Whatever, I think you are now going down the responsible road of getting this professionally looked at as a matter of urgency - irrespective of the limited remaining warranty period. 
Again, perhaps you could eat us know the outcome.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

More than likely the noise is a brake pad freeing itself. The pad can sometimes stick to a hot disk
