Brake rumble
10. Feb 2011 at 10:41

Hi all, long time no speak, i have a strange rumble on the car everytime i brake, i changed the bearings/pads and discs a couple of months ago and had no issues up till now so i dont think its related to these parts. When i brake it seems to be an intermittent rumble when i release the brake it goes, the braking is fine and no problem. if braking from speed the rumble is more intense but as said no braking issues.
Could it be related to the ABS sensor and would it be worth cleaning it or from you experience could it be related to something else. Huh

All pads/disc/bearings new, nothing stuck in the brakes etc, its baffling me, some have mentioned faulty sensor, i must say when i brake it does feel like when i have braked hard at speed, ie the ABS working. Undecided

In that case it could be... Check the pickup ring (Diff end of driveshafts IIRCC) and look for missing teeth/excessive corrosion and the same at the front.

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Help, this is driving me insane now, i have checked everything out, cleaned all sensors, all pads are fine, no sticking caliper etc etc.
When i brake there is a only what i can describe as a thumping, it sounds as though there is a flat spot on a tyre (Tyres changed around and still there), as i brake it goes thump thump thump on every revolution of the rear wheel/wheels, (Thought it was the front but deffo the rear) as soon as i release the brake it stops, apply it again and it starts. I still have excellent braking but this problem is driving me mad as to what it is.
Could any of you guys help or have you had any simular issues. Undecided

Mar 2011 at 21:56 Have you check the mating surface between wheel and disc, and between the hub and disc is perfectly flat and brushed off, could be some rust or loose bits trapped in between the surfaces causing uneven brake wobble. Wire brush em. just something else to check
