i have a 1992 honda civic.


i noticed today, that when im stopping, i hear a knocking type of noise. it doesnt occur while im driving, or while stopped, just in the midst of stopping. and only when im under 20 mph. its coming from the front end. im not sure if its a brake problem, or a motor problem. thoughts?

 

from the descripition it's kind of hard to trouble shoot...sounds like one of those things someone just has to hear in person....

 

how long has this been goin on?
just after a brake re-line?
or what?

may be strut rod bushings shot...or caliper bolts loose
or lower control arm bolts loose...many things..need more info, please

i got my brakes done...maybe 9 or 10 months ago. so i havent fucked with the brakes. it only does it every now and then. but it did it a lot today, and it was loud. what else do you need?

umm....all of the sudden?

 

you need to pull teh wheels..and check for loose caliper bolts.....then look at the strut rod bushings....then look at all other bolts on the suspension..is it lowered? if so, how?

JOEY

 

yeah its lowered. coilovers.

 

hmm..may be suspension loose....does it do it only on braking, or on bumps too?

JOEY

 

just when braking.
