xStric9x Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just been testing the zorst however when i got back home i was getting a ker-klunk as the car was coming to a stand still under breaking Now after mucking about for half an hour i have found the problem to be that it will only do it the once going forward, i then have to put it into reverse to make it do it again and vice versa. Both Bec and i cannot determain if it is coming from the front or rear of the car. Any ideas? Ps It doesn't do this everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 does it only do it when braking mike ? if it does, it sounds like a loose caliper to me or a knackered bush/droplink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New i was numpty when it came to car maintenance sounds very like a pad rocking. Check you haven't lost any of the retaining sprung prssure plates which are held in by the two pins, you should be able to check this without removing the wheels ie go outside now and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xStric9x Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nope, all still in place. Maybe it was when i tryed to take the calliper off and hadn't tightened it back up properly when you told me they didn't need to come off?

xStric9x Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 After messing about all morning i can now determain that one click is coming from the front and then the second one coming from the rear within about half a second of each other, the front always being the first click. It sounds like it is coming from the center of the car but can't be sure. Again it only does this under braking and when nearly coming to a complete stop. I've had the wheels off and checked pads and calipers and nothing looks out of the ordinary. Really baffled by this as i don't think i've ever heard of this problem, the only think i can point out is that i've just had a new zorst fitted and the clicking started soon after, i have checked that out to and i can't really see anything there either.

Mike - are you sure that it is not the exhaust expanding/contracting that's making those noises, especially being new? Might be worth going to a quiet location on a gradient and with the ignition on/engine off, coasting down to see if the noise is there when you brake? Take care doing this with no power steering or brake assist on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 does sound like flex in the exhaust, that would click, does it do it if you knock it into neutral and brake ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Wheels off gain and found the back passenger pad loose in the caliper along with the front drivers side Quite an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By feel, there was a bit of play in the pads so i took them out and re-fitted them. Everything was ok for about 5 mins then the click came back So moving away from the pads i inspected the zorst and i've found that its touching the diff cover but i'm not sure it would make a clicky axel kind of noise as the cover is plastic and i physically cannot move the zorst by hand.

xStric9x Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Have just managed to push the mid pipe further on the bung so it is now well away from the cover......still clicking. Looks like a trip down to the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 any news on this mike ? hope you're sorted hows the zorst ? is it sooting up ? sound changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Car is booked in at big Phils for a service and also for the clicking to be checked out Exhaust is coming along fine, had an audience at work and asked what they thought. Most said it didn't sound much different to the old one when i pulled off but sounded awesome when i gave it some beans, its definately getting deeper but i'm mostly commented on how it looks when parked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Could this be the ABS? I know that the RX8 apparently makes a thump noise when first started which is a self test of the ABS. Both my Z's have made this noise when I stop and engage reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xStric9x Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Its a definate clicky axel type noise only louder,doesn't do it when i pull off, only when coming to a stand still. Something tells me that it is something brake or zorst related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
