Brake prob (i hope).
Edge:
Travelling along at 35-40mph... apply brakes ready to take side road exit....
I get a sound like ive driven over a flattened tin drink can.
Its happened a couple of time now.... Is it the brake shoes (which are new) moving about? Or something more serious.
extreme90:
or it could be trug :lol: last time i hade that problem it was the anti rattle springs :? go over what you ha :? e done to the brakes, if it was fine before and now after it isnt, its got to be what you have done inbertween if you get me lol
danny
ian_s:
so you hear a metallic tinny tinkle when you apply the brakes?
i reckon its either the retaining plates, or the pads moving as you brake.
or, worst case, one of you caliper bolts has loosend/sheared :shock:
Edge:
Thanks guys.... ive checked the pads are secure etc and theyre all fine... Its only started happening since i had all the bushes (front/rear) replaced and axle guard fitted... oh and new front wheel bearings too.
After i did the brakes (about a month ago) everything was fine.
When it happens, its on stretches of road with a slight bend (very slight) as i'm braking.
Its exactly the same sound as when you go over a can of coke etc thats already been flattened.... like a sort of Thwaaack

I'd check the wheel bearing adjustment, they may well have settled a bit.
