I Hope someone can shed some light for me on this one , under braking occasionally , when coming to a stop only, I hear a rhythmic clonk/tapping noise - I have ruled out front and rear brakes , front wheel bearings and loose driveshaft/cv bolts - I can't find any loose bodywork or the like either. Its really hard to determine exactly where the noise is coming from but it sounds like left hand side , most of the time I think its from the rear but can't be 100% sure.

My current theory is to change the CV joints at the rear , other than that possibly rear bearings or some other suspension related bush ? anyone have a rough plan of action , all my bushes etc. are fairly old and I intend to go around replacing them all , just don't have a specific order in mind at the moment and can't afford to replace them all at once due to other issues taking finances up , such as the self destructing fuel pumps.

Thanks

Hi
cv joints, same noise from my van cured by cleanig and regrasing the joints

Nice cheap option to start with is above , strip them down , both ends , clean and re grease. Did mine earlier in the year just for the hell of it and took maybe 2 hrs for both sides.
I also had a similar prob to yours which only occurred under braking , cured by new discs and caliper overhaul and new pads ( not so cheap option )

Sounds like a plan , thanks fellas

I eliminated brakes by upgrading to porka calipers - really expensive option !!
