ShermanKonvict Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) 323ci coupe lowered on coilovers running on Bola B1.. Keep getting a scraping sound from rear passenger wheel (sounds like when pads are low etc) then shortly after I get a loud clunk and you can feel the clunk too.. Then it stops ..but if it starts with the scraping sound again then it clunks again. Really strange ..got underneath and can't see anything obvious ..any suggestions ?

Trevor Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sounds like handbrake shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShermanKonvict Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah that's a good idea I've had a similar sound on a previous car .. Most of the time it just does a metal scrape like as if pads are low .. Then now and again a horrible clunk sound sounds like I've ran over something and stuck under car lol or as if something is very loose and going to fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasa Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 diff bushes maybe?or any other rear rubber joints/links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShermanKonvict Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah could be but sounds a lot like the brake area.. Did the 'test' by pulling handbrake up when driving and sound goes quieter so I'm guessing handbrake shoes too now will get it in garage soon when I can get a day off from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShermanKonvict Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 What would the loud clunking sound be though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
