New brakes fitted but a knocking sound from the rear...

d_a_n1979 · 6th September 2011, 14:33

Had the new brakes fitted today and they've begun to bed in nicely

However when braking from speed to a dead stop (or to very slow coming to a stop) there's a small knocking from the rear n/s caliper region

Everything has been removed, cleaned and re-fitted twice to ensure nothing has been missed

Has anyone any idea what this could be (i.e. pad moving about a little & needs bedding in more etc...). Could it be anything to do with the handbrake shoes at all?

Thanks for any/all ideas

check the wheel bolts

Everything has been checked and re-tightened/torqued to right settings etc...

Nothing is loose!

When you say knocking is it a high or low pitched noise ???
High pitch could be a nail in the tyre with the head hitting the ground.
