BiggieLex400 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I recently had my breaks done over on the front pair. Whenever I turn the car on and apply the break in reverse or when I come to a slow stop I can hear a clanging/banging in the front right side of the car. Not sure if it's the breaks, suspension, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? It it a sensor of some sort? It's strange because I've certainly heard it on other Lexus's in the parking lot.

nc211 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Agreed, 100%. No shims = free play in the pads between caliper seats. Got the same problem in my LS on the fronts. Hit "r", first time on brakes = BANG Hit "d", first time on brakes = BANG. Pads are shifting back and forth. Turbo is right. I recently had my breaks done over on the front pair.

BiggieLex400 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 THanks a million everyone. I brought it in and my mechanic thought I was nuts ... said everything he checked was good. I'll change em with the pads next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverback Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I experience a clunking noise from the right front corner on my 01 300. I thought it was a shock tower or brakes, but everything checks out. It's like the lose spring clunking on the tower of a old domestic Hope someone can help Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
