Durania Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Noticed in the last week that when braking at speeds below 55, I get a single clunk or a knock on my STi. Definitely feeling it in the front. I recently replaced the rotors with Centric High Premiums in July. I pulled the car up on ramps last night and checked all my bolts that I removed to install the rotors and they were tight. I gave them a jiggle test, did not touch anything with a socket. Aside from noticing a recently slung open inner passenger side cv boot, I am out of ideas. I did have a problem when taking the old rotors off that they were seized to the hub. Speaking to a mechanic friend, he said his STi did this when he got some rust on the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_look_zero Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I would check the tophat mounting nut for the strut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjw Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The backs of the brake pads occasionally need a little grease. Without it, they will sometimes clunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yeah, that is a good point to start with. When I changed my rotors, I left the pads in the calipers so I didn't have to fool with all the pins and clips on the brembo 4 pots. Just picked it up and sat it out of the way as one whole unit. May just need to get some lube in there. Will try it out whenever I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
