brake ping? :S

[ally-vts]

anyone else get this ?

car is a 98 vts and only does this at 1 bit of road..

when coming out the petrol station theres a slight hill, when going down this little hill then braking the OSF brake makes a kind of ping noise like a spring, the car stops etc so i dont think it can be a major fault, its just annoying as fook

any ideas?

Calliper seizing up?

[ally-vts]

nope, its only at 1 place it does it, only when coming out the petrol station.. tis strange :S

[shaunyboy]

lmao not the car, it wouldent just do it at 1 petrol station, sure its not the grid

[dannyboy2005]

wouldn't be wit the angle of the road, chassie flexing or something? Drain or man hold cover?

Wouldn;t worry mate if its only one petrol station lol.

[ally-vts]

theres no grid or anything, no man hole covers.. it definetly sounds like its coming from the front wheel lol

check the pad retaining clip is fitted correctly.

or the wire guard around the brake hose isnt fouled.

I would have thought you come out the station and turn right? so you come out the station, down the sloped kurb and turnright going over the curve of the road. Not giving it any wellie? Sure its breaks and not suspension?

its the front its coming from :( had a check at the brakes and all are fine, dunno what the hell it is :P

can i get rid of the ABS?

[dannyboy2005]

Quick reply there mate.

Well only thing i can think of is maybe the CV joint/ Drive shaft is going and your hearing the early stages of it or check your bolts.

Don't think you can get rid of ABS, its all done by the ECU.
