I didn’t really check them out when I was under there. I specualted it was the brakes and focused on that. Late last year I put new struts on it and everything with the suspension looked fine.
Here are some things I noticed this morning that make me think it may not be a problem with the axle, but maybe a brake problem.
-
It doesn’t do it when the car is cold. I have to drive around for a few miles before I notice it.
-
I took it in a parking lot and turned the wheel and accelerated slowly…didn’t hear anything. The car was cold when I did this.
-
Mostly notice it while coasting through traffic while foot was barely on the brakes. If I have to stop quickly then I did not notice it. While stopped I sort of jab at the brakes and I would hear it click/clunk.
-
Maybe a better description of the noise is a click/clunk/slight grinding noise. Picture all noised sort of merged into one.
-
Like I said I had it all apart and every bolt is tight, the shims are new, brakes felt tight.
