iwanprice12 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Was just wondering if someone has had this problem before ; Under braking (usually at lower speeds, around 30-40 mph) there is a slight 'flapping' noise when pressing the brake pedal. I suspect this may be the front brakes (changed the rear ones about a month ago) and have ordered new front pads and discs. I am quite confident it is the brakes, but wondering if anyone else found other symptoms of rubber bushes or link arms loose with this sort of noise? Would rather sort it all out once the wheels are off the car! Any advice welcome! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmillions Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just a guess but warped disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 haha If only i t was a pigeon, be a cheaper option! I was guessing might have been a warped disc, the discs and pads that were on the rear seemed a bit worse for wear so guessing the fronts will be similar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You normally get steering shake with a warped disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 There is a little steering shake with it, and tends to want to pull to the left (front passenger side I'm guessing the noise is coming from). Will jack the car up on the weekend and have a proper look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Check the meat on the pads and the lip on the discs, if both are worn they can sometimes contact and make a noise A split driveshaft gaitor can make a flapping noise but not just when braking Edited March 19, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the advice! There is some meat left on the pads, a slight lip on the disc, but nothing to obvious. Have ordered a new set for peace of mind anyway...hope the weather is good for the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
