‘Clonking’ brakes
Since an MOT advisory on brakes a few months ago, I had new pads fitted, but my garage had to ‘trim’ the pads a bit to get them to fit. As a result, the brakes ‘clonked’ every time I switched from forword to reverse (and vice versa) and, on bumpy roads, at low speeds, there was a ‘clonky’ noise from the front.
I’ve now swapped the calipers (reconned by Pro Calipers - thanks Mark!) and had new Brembo pads fitted, but the ‘reverse clonk’ is still there, although the low speed ‘clonk’ does seem to have gone.
Any ideas folks?
