Mentally Unstable..
I think I know what the problems is, but I thought I would run it by you guys first.
I, like another member, I also have a nasty clunking coming from the brake system it seems. I have no noises while running at any speed, until I use the brakes. No matter how hard or light I push the pedal, I still have a clunk when I try to slow down or stop.
I worked all nigh tplowing snow, So I just got up and took some tools to have a look. First I check the obvious like ball joints being tight, lug nuts being tight, steering being tight and bearings being tight. Everything checked out on the front end.
I did notice that the driver side brake pad that is on the piston side of the caliper, is totally worn down, while the other 3 pads up front are thick with LOTS of wear left. Time for a caliper rebuild? I might as well do both if I am going to do one!
I don;t think this will solve my clunk. It seems I have a nother moaning noise that goes with the clunk. It is coming from the front passenger side wheel. No idea what this is, but it might go away when I take the calipers out and rebuild them.
Everyone thinks that my clunking is in the rear brakes. Should I throw in a hold down kit, and a set of shoes while I have it apart? God knows when it was last looked at. I may even rebuild the wheel cylinders if they look like they have been in there a while.
